I thought I had the problem pinned down.  The particular issue I had at
hawkerc.net was that upon the upgrade from a post 2.2.0 cvs to 2.2.1a,
users with long passwords (which may only have been 12/13/14 chars, its
not entirly clear) could no longer login.  (These passwords were set
with pam_smbpasswd from easier this year).  Before this they could.  I
neglected to chase it down for a bit, but these passwords were reported
as working under Win9X but failing under NT4 6a and Win2k.

As I don't have the time/facilities to chase this up any further right
now, I suppose I better let you get on with your release...
