Passwords seem to be a bit funny ! AFAICT, the only way to get
WinNT to access the Unix box as the user you're logged into the
WinNT box as is to set the WinNT box as a "hosts equiv" in your
smb.conf file. According to the smb.conf manual page, WinNT
doesn't supply passwords to the box supplying the share.
Strange behaviour - I'd expect this sort of thing to be a
configuration option (as per RPC on Unix).
Win95 seems to send passwords ok though (but no login name I
think).
