Set encrypt passwords to yes in the global section of smb.conf and set the
smbpasswd file path in there as well.
make sure you create a new smb.password file with the command:
 cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh > <the path to your smbpasswd file>
and then check to see that your windows workstations are using encryped
passwords.
  Oh, and stop and start samba. We do want it to read the new smb.conf file!

There is a great diagnostic routine at
