Well, it's not really a downgrade (but I understand you think so), because now samba allows you to have different passwords for samba and shell. There is a program that converts all the passwords from /etc/passwd to smbpasswd, I can't remember the name. I always use smbpasswd -a <USER> (as root) to give anybody who needs access to samba, they can then later change it with smbpasswd. (The -a options says that if the user is not in smbpasswd smbpasswd has to add the user).
