[linux-cifs-client] Re: CaseInsensitivePassword

[Steven French]

That makes sense looking at lib smclient connection code in the samba 3 
tree.

Somewhat off topic - I notice that with one of my WindowsXP systems acting 
as a server, I can never authenticate (from samba3.10pre smbclient, smbfs 
or my cifs client with or without NTLMSSP extended security) as anything 
other than guest.   Since it has service pack 2 on that system, and the 
obvious issues (domain name, bad password) seem to have no effect - and I 
can locally logon with those users - it got me thinking it must be related 
to something in the new sp2 network setup wizard - the ominous warning it 
gives about having to take a CD around to each machine in your network if 
you want to use the network to that box.   Wonder what is going on here. 
Surely there is a way to connect to XP as non-guest user -- "NET SESS" 
shows the right username (ie running net sess on the server) but I am not 
convinced it actually is authenticated as that user since it acts like 
guest (and ethereal shows it as guest in the action field of SMB sesssetup 
response).

Little, but important correction: smbfs sends identical 24-byte
passwords only with client lanman auth = off. When it's on, the two
passwords/responses differ as expected. I'll check with an XP client.
