The password encryption employed by Microsoft has a number of articles on the net about how it can be decoded, and perhaps a few on how it can be encoded. Samba does nicely in keeping up with the CIFS password encryption, but the authentication on the proxy server, IIRC, is supposed to detect Microsoft platforms, just like their own version of Kerberos. May I suggest asking this question on the expert list? More SAs are on that list who may have had the same experience, though most of them probably put linux on the server first. Civileme Civileme
