Sorry I forgot to attach the global settings

[Chris Tooley]

I haven't been using a smbpasswd file because we haven't needed to.
Most of
the machines are logging in fine without having the smbpasswd file set
up.
Here is a copy of our Global section of the smb.conf file.  And yes they
all
have a password that is longer than 8 characters.  I suppose that is a
rule
that I somehow missed.  If so, where would I find it?
