Just as a point I recently upgraded an old sun server here from samba
1.9.16p11 I think to a similiar 1.9.18p8 and with the old one I only had
to enter my password once and with the new one it was multiple times ..
Anyways this question is better off on the smba main list I think than
here ... which is for NTdomain controller stuff mainly ..
