[PLUG] samba

[Fred K Ollinger <follinge@sas.upenn.edu>]

	I don't know if anyone asked about this, but I have a suggestion
about clear passwds:

DON'T USE THEM.

	In the latest samba, there is a line in the config file which you
can add:

encrypt passwords = yes

	Put this in there. Don't even need to restart b/c the newer sambas
automagically rereads config file every min. Better to add one line then
to mess around w/ many registries. Also, better to be encrypted no matter
how weak the encryption is.

	I heard that Bill subcontracted out all his encryption jobs to his
teenaged nephew. :)
<\flame suit off>

good day,

Fred
