samba - Jun 1999 - Unencypted Passwords problem

I am having difficulties in two areas regarding unencrypted
passwords.  The first is I added the use Administrator to the unix box,
and I can log in from the console, however I cannot log in from a
LANMANAGER client.  The second thing is that accounts in the unix passwd
file that have null passwords can't login to the samba server either.  Is
there a solution to either of these problems; if not, both accounts
(Administrator, and the one with the null password) worked when I had
encrypt passwords enabled, however smbd wasn't runing setuid, or mapping
permissions properly.  Is there a workaround for that?  Any help would be
appriciated.

I apoligize for this, but would someone mind sending me the entire
"Unencrypted Passwords problem" thread?  My mail server was off line
for
the better part of two days, so unfortunatly I have lost any mail sent to
my mailbox.  I would appriciate it!
