Hello I know the huge amount of discussion about cleartext and encrypted passwords, and Unix management versus Samba management. I use NIS password management and I wonder if anybody knows why Win95 & 98 send encrypted passwords for the old passwords when a change request is made from Windows (not from a DOS box using "net password" which works fine). When cleartext passwords are choosen, isn't it stupid to do so ? Isn't there a way to avoid this ? Thanks
