samba - Aug 1997 - SAMBA digest 1377

Just yesterday I got it to work by compiling in DES support.  For SP3, this
is a must.  Alternatively, you can make a change in the registry that makes
NT less secure by only allowing clear text passwords.

So IF you compile with DES, these configuration settings allow you to
successfully defer authentication from SP3 clients to an NT server?

I misunderstood.  I did not realize that these settings STILL
that I build with DES support.
