Not authorized to login from this station

[Cooper, Tom]

Not authorized to login from this station - this is a FAQ.

It has to do with NT by default using encrypted passwords.  I fixed this by
applying the /usr/doc/samba-2.0.3/docs/NT4_PlainPassword.reg file to the
registry on my NT4 workstation.

I'm sure that this is less secure, but I don't think there are too many
sniffers on my home LAN.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Tom Cooper
