Ok basically you are extending the concept of security = server to file
operations.
Look at the code in samba that implements security = server, you will
have to modify the samba server code in order to keep the hashed
password and not delete it.
This method cannot work in a domain environemnt when you are a member
server and not the PDC, in that case the member server will never see
the hashed password.

Simo.
