() messages disappeared
() again when I put the Netbios names of the Samba file server and
() of the Samba domain controller (we have them listen on different
() IPs) into the local /etc/hosts file.

Forget it, the messages are suppressed only for a few hours
after restarting Samba.  The timestamps in smbpasswd get updated
(which made me think I found a solution) but not the passwords
themselves (duh).

Sorry for the noise.

    Ciao, Lobo
