There are also a number of entries corresponding to previous logins by
users. There is a way to turn this behavior off, but I don't recall at the
moment exactly what it is.
Essentially, it is there to allow you to log on if the domain controller
can't be reached. I believe it stores hashes rather than clear-text.
The RAS functionality can often be annoying as well - it tends to prompt me
for my password even when I'm using a script (which of course contains the
user-password pair in the clear). Not sure why it thinks it needs it - I
just leave it blank, but a less astute user would probably type in their
actual password.
