Clients were smblient and NT SP3 (member of Samba 2.0.x
controlled domain, I forgot about this).
Samba I tested this problem with was CVS 2.2 from week ago
or so.
One important thing - all the time I was convinced the
"encrypt passwords" parameter defaults to "yes". Last time
I've used testparm, it got straight this mistake. Shouldn't
this param default to yes ?
Give me 2-3 hours and I'll try to reproduce this again,
since I don't have another computer around, now.
