No... it fails after that... when the system ask to create a local profile
for a Domain user...
it happens with all the users, normal ones and admins...

When I try to create a local profile for a Domain user...

U're right it seemed strage to me too but I found notes about setting
encryption in the
smb.conf file in the samba PDC faq & howto and also hints about unsetting
the encryption
for third party PDCs in similar documentation... and anyway this fix another
problem:
when u try to add a Domain user in a local machine u can specify it manually
or u can browse it from the PDC... if don't enable the password encryption
for third parties server the user list browsing fails...
