"You should also read the samba docs. Especially those concerning WinNT,
Win98 and W2K where encrypted password negotiation is used by default.
It's all explained in the docs how to revert back to clear-text
negotiation.
Basically you need to do some nasty registry hacking to achieve this.
On the other hand, you could also enable encryption in samba. I've heard
reports that this works with at least WinNT."
(That's not a link to a file above, it's a link to a page with that text
in it)
If there is a way to do encpryted password, I would be serisously rock
if it was found!

THANKS!
