Not true. Under sp3, MS set the default for NT (and
under the redirector update for 95), to not downgrade
to plain text passwords if encryption was not supported
by the server. This capability is negotiated during the
session setup in user mode security.
The fix is to either enable encrypted passwords on the
samba server (e.g. encrypt passwords = yes), or to
use the nt4_plainpassword.reg file included with samba.
