Plaintext passwords for win2k clients to Samba

[dkourk]

WinNT 4 after SP# required that passwords should be sent between the the Win client and Samba server encrypted. There used to be a description inWinNT.txt of how to change the registry to stop this. What happens in NT 5...er sorry Win2000? the hack doesn't seem to work there..... I couldn't find the registry attribute that was described in WinNT.txt :-(

thanx [sig][/sig]

Look at Q244627 MS Knowledgebase. Not sure if this applies but worth a try.
