[Samba] Windows password caching - NT server vs Samba....(wasSimple (?) question )

[Rich Pinder]

Thanks... (i failed to mention that in the last post - i changed it back

I think the way i was trying the smbusers file made no sense - i had 
rpinder = rpinder (no reason for that, eh??)
I'll keep looking in the docs.
