It does sound like it could be a password deal. I know that Windows 95/98 will send cleartext passwords, and I believe the WinNT series sends encrypted (though I could be wrong). Linux by default sends encrypted passwords, (again, if I'm not mistaken). All that I know of it I learned from the Samba documentation (on Slackware: /usr/doc/samba-2.0.7/docs/). I hope that was of help to you ; )

I didn't have any idea 10 years ago when I started, so I'm convinced that not
having a clue about where we'll be in another 10 years is a good thing. I'm not
limiting myself with any artificial goals. -- Linus Torvalds
