I'm not sure what that says, though.

I think you're saying that W2K, when it's not a Domain member, will
correctly process the NTLM response against it's own local SAM database,
even if the ASCII password field is empty.  Yes?

W2K is a different codebase from W9x & ME.

I'm interested for academic reasons.  If W98 doesn't pass the NTLM 
response from the CIFS VFS then we'd know the origin of the behavior of 
smbd.
