[Samba] Win7 - Samba 3.5.4 trust relationship

Hi Ivan!

Thats unfortunately correct. Win7 changes the machine password 
automatically every xx days (randomly - max 30 days)
- that does not work.

You have to set the registry key to avoid that change:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Netlogon\Parameters]
"DisablePasswordChange"=dword:00000001
