No. Shadow passwords are encrypted one-way. You cannot reverse this, or at
least not yet. smbpasswd uses a different kind of encryption as described
in the Samba documentation.
As far as I know there is work that's being undertaken so that a separate
smbpasswd will not be needed anymore. Instead Samba will attempt to use
PAM 100%. I don't know how progressive this has been, though. Until Samba
2.2.1a, you need the smbpasswd, at least when encryption is enabled, and
you need encryption enabled for your Samba server to act as a PDC.
BTW, I've _finally_ gotten a Windows NT 4.0 Workstation as a part of my
domain with a single Samba 2.2.1a server acting as PDC. Yey! I can finally
talk a little about this on Saturday. No need to completely downgrade my
talk to Windows 95/98/ME only. Hehehe. :)
