  How about wording such as:
	Warning: NT client machines will be able to update
	both Unix and Windows passwords, but Windows 95/98/ME
	machines will not be able to keep the two in sync
	unless they have the "EnablePlainTextPassword"
	flag set in their registry.
Or does the uppercasing behavior make it even eviler? (;-))
