While I definitely want to continue using Samba, enabling passwords
to be sent in cleartext seems a little bass-ackwards to me. I want
to make the whole network more secure, not less. And if Windows
*finally* is adding security, I'd rather help than hinder.

Is there any way to get *Samba* to exchange encrypted keys with
Windows?
