If the client uses encrypted passwords the samba password in
private/smbpasswd and the unix password in /etc/passwd(shadow) or NIS
can be different. If the client uses plain text passwords, to my
knowlage same old dos clients do even with "encrpyted passwords =
yes" in smb.conf, win95????, then you can not use different passwords.
