[Samba] Directly setting unicodePwd - better type of hash?

[Edward Graham]

It works for us without problems. We would like to improve security though, so I'm looking for information whether it's possible to use different hash in samba.

Sorry, but you are supposed to sync from AD to other systems, I do not
think it will work the other way around.

Tranqui-it provides a script to sync passwords, have a search on their site.
