Windows 95 Original Passwords

[Chris Tooley]

I can sure give it a shot.  I will have to add though, that I took a
fresh installation of Win 95 and tried to log in with encrypted = yes on
the server and it didn't work.  I tried to log in with encrypted = no
and it worked.  I installed the update, and tried with encrypted = no,
now it doesn't work.  I tried again with encrypted = yes, and it
worked.  Now I installed the EnablePlainTextPasswords hack on 95,
changed the encrypted = no on the server and logged in again, again it
worked.  Set the DWORD of the hack to zero and changed encrypted = yes
on the server, works again.  The Virtual Redirector update seems to make
the encryption work identical to 95B and up.

I'll send some tcpdumps directly to Richard as anything over 40000 bytes
gets bumped back to me no matter what I try and since I'm in the process
of changing jobs, I've got some other responsiblities as well.  Thanks
for the help.
