   Passwords:
   ==========
   One of the most annoying problems with WinNT is that NT refuses to
   connect to a server that is in user level security mode and that
   doesn't support password encryption unless it first prompts the user
   for a password.
    
   This means even if you have the same password on the NT box and the
   Samba server you will get prompted for a password. Entering the
   correct password will get you connected only if Windows NT can
   communicate with Samba using a compatible mode of password security.
     
The document goes on to say that you can do some surgery on your NT
system with regedt32 to allow unencrypte passwords.  I presume this is
the situation I'm up against right now, as when I try to map my samba
server to my NT workstation, get a dialog box marked "Enter Network
Password" that looks something like this: 

	Incorrect password or unknown username for 
	   \\SMBSERVER                                    OK
                                                        Cancel
	Connect As: ____________________________         Help
	Password:   ____________________________

If I have to go around to every NT box in the company and hack the
registry, I'm not going to be able to use Samba.  Am I missing something?
Certainly wouldn't be the first time.

How do I use Samba without compromising security on my server AND
without modifying the client?
