Personally think that clear text is bad as anyone intercepting the packets can easily pick up anything in clear text. If one knows specifically that traffic is one a completely secure path from end to end then not such an issue. This leads one to have different standards for one transmission path over the other though.

Hi,
> OpenLDAP with NT and LM hashed samba password
After having read similar stuff several times in the past weeks,
what's the real advantage of using NT or LM hashed passwords over
using simple clear text passwords? At least securitywise, I can't
see any.
Regards,
Stefan
