[Samba] Windows won't send passwd to samba server

[C. Ferguson]

Sorry about the double email Mr McCall....

Yes, I am using unencrypted passwords. When my Win98
machine attempts to access a share, I get prompted for
a password. I enter the correct password but it
doesn't get tranmitted. I have also tried different
usernames to no avail.
