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

[Jason Stewart]

Hi CJ,

Obviously, according to your log files the password is getting 
'Transmitted', but not authenticated. You have to actually set up win98 to 
use unencrypted passwords. There is a registry hack out there somewhere to 
allow you to do this. I would rather just use encrypted passwords and add 
the user to smbpasswd over hacking the registry to do something that Win98 
was not designed to do.

Good Luck,
Jason
