no password for IPC$

[Ernie Oporto]

I've been seeing this behavior since 1.9.17p1.  Haven't gotten a single
response on this other than to play with GUEST_SESSSETUP in local.h, which
didn't help in any of the changes.  The NT server refuses the passwd each
time.  I can't tell if the encryption is working and the password is
actually refused, or if the encryption doesn't work, hence the refused
password.  As I said, this has been happening for a while now.  I can't use
the version of Samba (1.9.17p2) that has the security fix because of this.

Here is my smb.conf.  Maybe someone can see the error?
