Encrypted passwords are certainly safer, if you can use them. If not,
the samba documentation has information on turning them off from both
the samba side and from the Windows side. Samba also includes registry
hacks to force plain passwords in Win{95,98,ME,NT,2000}. Again, I'd
recommend trying to use encrypted passwords if you can.
Take a look in /usr/doc/samba* or /usr/share/doc/samba* (depends on
where your distribution likes to place additional program
documentation).
