If you want PDC support you have to use encrypted passwords. If you
don't use samba as PDC then I would suppose samba should work fine if
you use either cleartext or encrypted.
I would also suggest using samba_TNG for the domain controller support.
This because the domain controller code in the 2.0.x branch is 18 month
old.
