Samba has supported encrypted passwords for a long time, just not
by default--you have to twiddle some things in the Makefile.  The
correct solution is to enable enable password encryption in
samba, NOT disable it in NT. 

...I gather there is work on an "exportable" bit of code to do
the encryption so samba can be built and distributed with
password encryption by default.  I don't know the current status
though...
