Much thanks for the reply.
Now, please tell me that this paragraph, from the description for 'obey pam restrictions' in smb.conf(5), is old (& false in Samba 3): "Note that Samba always ignores PAM for authentication in the case of encrypt passwords = yes. The reason is that PAM modules cannot support the challenge/response authentication mechanism needed in the presence of SMB password encryption."

You could set 'obey pam restrictions', and then write an 'account' module the enforced these restrictions. That assumes you want to always require passwords, but only allow some particular accounts from the untrusted IPs.
