Simple:  Add 'encrypt passwords = yes' to your smb.conf and setup an
smbpasswd file.  Or try the registry hack, but thats ugly and forces
extra password prompts.  (Registry hack files included in the samba
doco)

BTW, the hosts equiv stuff didn't work because the client bails out
after the negprot, so it never even tries to authenticate.
