[Samba] FOLLOWUP: Samba, OS X Tiger 10.4 plain text password, username null-padded?

[Elizabeth Schwartz]

So, an Apple engineer came and hung out for about three hours last
week and agreed that Tiger was doing something pretty funky with the
plain text passwords. Today's word is:
".... there is a fix in 10.4.2 that will go in combination with the
/etc/nsmb.conf and hopefully solve your problem.That is as much detail
as I have right now. Do you have access to the seed build of 10.4.2
via ADC ?"

We aren't going to play with beta releases of OS X ourselves right now
but I'd be real interested if anyone here does.
