[Samba] domain logons - help

[Trey Nolen]

To enable plaintext passwords under Windows 2000, go to Start -> Run and
type in regedt32. Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE go to
\system\currentcontrolset\services\lanmanworkstation\parameters and change
the DWORD value of the enableplaintextpassword entry to 1.

Just curious....if you have Win98 and Win2000 only, why do you want
plaintext?
