samba - Jun 2003 - Samba 3 Beta and Encryption Issues

Hi All,
 
This is an update/question about the new beta release of Samba.  I installed it
onto a test bay.  One machine is Redhat 7.3, one is XP.  For our purposes, the
clients need to have encryption turned off (IE: we enabled cleartext passwords).
With Samba 2.2.7, I had PDC support, including roving profiles and login scripts
working when ecryption was turned on, both server-side and client-side.  Now,
with the new beta release, I have the exact same connectivity level working,
only with encryption turned on server side, but turned OFF client side.  As
somebody else posted - is this a bug, or a feature? :)
 
Our ideal solution would be to have encryption turned off server side and use an
LDAP backend for authentication.  With Samba 3, will it be possible to do so and
still support roving profiles and true domain logins?  If not, we can always
migrate passwords from the LDAP server, but it's an extra step and it'd
be best if we could avoid it entirely.
 
Thanks for your help!  I'll keep playing with the beta and post if I find
anything else interesting.
 
Dan

Unfortunately, I need to have encryption turned off due to server issues that
are unavoidable at the moment.  Now, with the new beta release, I have the exact
same connectivity level working, only with encryption turned on server side, but
turned OFF client side.  As somebody else posted - is this a bug, or a feature?

still support roving profiles and true domain logins?  Migrating passwords would
be a huge hassle.
 
Thanks for your help!
