I used libdes-3.23.tar.gz -- which I got from
ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/libdes

This seems to be true.  I changed my configuration for encryption and
setup the smbpasswd file -- but it wouldn't work at all until I recompiled
samba with libdes.

We have an NT 4.0 server and all NT 4.0 workstations.  I refuse to use
the smbpasswd file (except for testing) -- I think having two password
files (unix and NT) is already too many -- a third just isn't acceptable
(for me).  So, when I got roaming profiles working, it was with a test
server running with security = user and using the smbpasswd file.  I also
seemed to have success with security = server and setting my security server
to the NT server.  Nobody said it would work, but my brief tests seemed to
work.

My test machine was an HP running HPUX 10.20.  I'll append my smb.conf
file at the end.  Let me know if you have any more questions.
