I'd recommend use it only when you absolutely sure, that nobody can steal/snoop/catch/listen (or other many methods :-) ) your traffic. If you aren't sure, you have to read DOMAIN_CONTROL.txt, ENCRYPTION.txt, NTDOMAIN.txt and Passwords.txt (and Samba doc catalog contained many other useful hints :-) ), which describes how to use encrypted native NT passwords. If you have NT domain controller, you can include Samba computer into NT domain and now it will be check passwords through NT server. -- With Best Regards. Rashid N.
