TNG works with Win2k, fails with Win98

[Richard Sharpe]

OK,

Now, from Win98 I get:

   You were successfully logged on to SAMBA1 as win95user by \\LINSRV1 with
   USER privilege.

Make it Sam Bass please.  We drink real beer here in Oz :-)

Actually, I would not advise sending a case of beer to OZ.  Keep it until I
get to a conference in the US!  Then we can share it among the members of
the team who are there.

I will upload the fixes to the CVS tree soon.  If you do not have access to
the CVS tree, please ask Luke nicely.
