I'm no Windows expert either, but I believe that "Logon to network" refers
to SMB domain logons - as far as I can tell it doesn't have anything to do
with PPP or shell login handling. I have turned the option on and off on
dial-up Windows machines here connecting to our Linux server and all it
seems to do is add a 60 second delay to the connection when enabled. Can
anyone shed any technical light on the matter for us?
