[Samba] 95 and NT cannot access shares

[William R. Knox]

The information provided here about the use of encrypted passwords is not
true. NT began to ENFORCE the use of encrypted passwords with SP3, and
Win95 the same with (I believe) OSR2, but ALL versions of these OSes
supported encrypted passwords.
