No. Mandrake ships with encrypted passwords enabled by default (and has
since about 8.1). Why people insist on reg-hacking many windows machines
instead of adding an smbpasswd for their users is beyond me.

| Should also have security = share
|

Mandrake defaults to having samba mimic windowsNT/windows2000, which
basically do security=user when not in a domain.

Generally, security=share is a bad idea (just like it is in windows),
and even worse if you use clear-text passwors.
