That is of course the simple solution.  The interesting thing will be to
chase this up - I use a similar system at Hawker College:  Our students
use a logon applet that simply makes the NT calls for 'map drive with
user interface' (they then get the normal username/password boxes).  I
hope this bit will still work, but if the lower level interfaces
don't...

In any case, its Samba policy to stick as close to NT/Win2k/XP behaviour
as makes sense.  It should not be a problem to make a similar patch in
future versions however.
