We have a 760 and are using an OpenLDAP database for authentication of CIFS clients. It only seems to work when the passwords are stored as clear text. This is an unacceptable security risk. It is disturbing enough to pass clear text passwords over the network. The /etc/passwd file should store DES hashed passwords so I was hoping that hashed passwords could be stored in LDAP. We are running in a workgroup with some Windows XP Home Edition so NT Domain and AD authentication are no good to us. Anyone else have this problem?
