We need the cleartext becouse some of the kerberos things don't use the
NT#, they use other hashing stuff (particularly for systems without the
latest - unreleased - MIT krb5).  Regarding the last change time - yes,
we need to clean up this mess - I was looking to store all domains (even
the local one) in some kind of common record format, that would try to
keep trusted domains using as much common code as possible.
