[Samba] Computer accounts & Win2K

[mdt-tech-mailbox at shaw.ca]

There are appropriate entries for the machine account in both 
the /etc/passwd file and the /etc/shadow file.

I don't know if the Samba 2.2.1 RedHat RPM that comes with the 
distribution was compiled with support for shadow passwords enabled, 
but assume it must have been since shadow passwords are enabled by 
default on current RedHat systems.  I suppose I could check the SRPM 
file ...
