[Samba] Cannot logon Samba 4 via plaintext password

[Benjamin Huntsman]

So then basically plaintext passwords (and by extension authentication against local UNIX accounts) is completely broken in Samba 4?
Want to file a bug, or shall I?

Thanks!

-Ben

I reproduced this problem on Linux box. I see packet captures and confirm
that Samba replies to enable plaintext password, Windows client sends a
plaintext password, and at last Samba replies logon failure to client.

My smb.conf is:

-----
[global]
  encrypt passwords = no
  server max protocol = nt1
  ntlm auth = yes

[tmp]
  path = /tmp
  writeable = yes
-----

Hmmm, I think it is a bug...
