For beta 3 you need 2.0.5 or better. For RC1 you need to ask me for an
additional patch.

If you need the plain text password hack for Win2k it is:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkStation\Parameters]
"EnablePlainTextPassword"=dword:00000001

(This is also included in the distribution as a .reg file.)

Cheers,
