Run Samba 3.0 with plaintext passwords.  Then log on from both a W2K and a
W/XP system.  Make sure the Windows clients have been registry-hacked to
allow plaintext.

Piece of cake.  I'm pretty sure I've sent you a capture on this before.
I also sent one that showed that WindowsNT4SP3 adds extra nul bytes
following some Unicode strings, and that Window2000 will sometime drop one
nul byte at the end of the PrimaryDomain field (such that the PrimaryDomain
Unicode string isn't properly terminated).
