Yes, this is what we've assumed.  We've started investigating with
Sun's own pop and imap daemons to see how they behave.

Is anyone else running SAMBA under Solaris 2.7 and also seeing this
problem?  It would be nice to be able to compile keylogin support into
samba.

OK, great.  That does explain things - we're still using plain text
passwords.  The only reason for not moving to encrypted ones is the
niggly problems with having two password tables.
