This is due to the SMB change MS made with (I think)
NT SP3. You need to make a small registry change on
the Windows side - see

http://www.sambaix.com/Documentation/index.cfm?cfid=0&cftoken=0&FromTemplate=Default.cfm&Fuseaction=10201

I think the Samba team will be accommodating this change
at some point.

Short version:

Add a new DWORD value named EnablePlainTextPassword and
give it a value of 1 here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP

-j
