password server = * is broken

[Andrew Esh]

Never mind. I tested it again this morning, and it works now. There must have been a sick

I'm still not very confident. I think this area could use some more testing. I have heard
from others that this option doesn't work for them.

Has someone been working on it since Samba 2.2.3a?
