smbd/password.c:find_connect_pdc() machine password timeout

[Tim Potter]

Gerald or Jeremy, I was wondering why the particular value of
3600 for the machine password timeout in find_connect_pdc()?

I would have thought that this timeout is a little large.
Replication of machine accounts is supposed to happen immediately
after a machine account password has been changed, or at the next
replication pulse (whichever is the sooner (-:).  A network which
takes more than an hour to replicate immediately seems to be a
little broken to me.
