Ummmm, NO. DON'T.

First, try to set up Samba to use encrypted passwords.

If you really must set your Windows systems to use un-encrypted passwords, 
the source distro comes with reg files for each version of windows that 
will set those variables for you. They are in: 
samba/samba-$version/docs/Registry/ and have names like 
Win2000-PlainPassword.reg.
