Since you haven't gotten another answer, I'll take a stab based on year+
old memory, and we'll see if I'm going senile yet. :-)
If I recall correctly, NT 4 SP6 and W2k insist on encrypted SMB passwords,
and earlier versions allow clear or encrypted. Somewhere in the registry
there is a setting for the password encryption. Recent versions of Samba
include the option of encrypting the passwords in a manner that W2K finds
acceptable. If you can get the encrypted passwords working, that would be
more secure than having W2K allow clar passwords. You might check that
out.
