Hm, if I set my w2k PDC (for another domain) up so that it only accepts passwords whose length >= 5 characters, the users are given a correct error message. So it must be possible. I can see from the source code in source/smbd/lanman.c that the error code returned from samba is 86: #define NERR_badpass 86 so if one just could find a better error code... Is it possible to tcpdump/ethereal the error message from the W2K PDC server and learn the error code? Or is it all encrypted?
