WinNT Profiles on samba server?

[Axel Thimm]

Hi,

in DOMAIN.txt of 1.9.18p7 there is the following comment:

> [lkcl 20aug97 - after samba digest correspondance, one user found, and
> another confirmed, that profiles cannot be loaded from a samba server
> unless "security = user" and "encrypt passwords = yes" (see the file
> ENCRYPTION.txt) or "security = server" and "password server = ip.address.
> of.yourNTserver" are used.  either of these options will allow the NT

Is this a general problem of WinNT-samba? Has any newer samba (perhaps 2.0)
fixed this behaviour? I'd like to stick with plaintext passwords, yet still
move the profiles to the Unix home directories.

Thanks, Axel.
