Hmmm, I am not sure if I have mis-understood, but I thought the following
was true:

   security = share
   domain logons = yes

is of no use, as it has no meaning.

   security = user
   domain logons = yes

Works whether or not you have encrypt passwords = yes for Win9x clients
(may need the Plain_Password reg files installed for plaintext passwords).

I have a site that does this now.

   security = {domain, server}
   domain logons = yes

required encrypted passwords ...
