            list collator to match the change I just added to

 In future Apple System Software, you may see support for other protocols, such
 as SMB -- Applet is working on a new networking architecture that will make it
 easier to support additional protocols. But it's not here yet.
 
-Now, the nice part is that if you want your Unix machine to speak Appletalk,

+* 8: I have upgraded my NT 4.0 system to service pack 3. Why
+     can't I connect anymore ?
+
+This is not a bug.  Microsoft has changed their policy on sending
+unencrypted passwords over the net.  They no longer default to allowing
+unencrypted passwords to be sent over the net.  This effects all Samba
+servers which are configured to use security=share or security=user level
+security without password encryption. They do, however, have a fix which 
+can be applied to the registry to fix the problem.  Here's a synopsis 
+from the SP3 web page that discusses how to enable unencrypted password 
+sending from an NT 4.0 box.
+
+A better solution is to re-compile Samba to use encrypted passwords.
+See the document :
+
+ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/samba/docs/ENCRYPTION.txt
+
+>SYMPTOMS
+>==========
+>
+>Connecting to SMB servers (such as Samba) with unencrypted password fails
+after upgrading to Windows NT 4.0 service pack 3 version 1.76. 
+>
+>CAUSE
+>======
+>
+>The SMB redirector in Windows NT 4.0 service pack 3 version 1.76 handles
+>unencrypted passwords differently than previous version of Windows NT.
+>Beginning with this version, the SMB redirector will not send an
+>unencrypted password unless you add a registry entry to enable them.
+>
+>RESOLUTION
+>===========
+>
+>To enable unencrypted (plain text) passwords modify the registry in this way.
+>
+>
+>
+>WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide
+>problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them.
+>Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of
+>Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.
+>
+>
+>
+>1. Run Registry Editor (REGEDT32.EXE).
+>
+>2. From the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree, go to the following key:
+>
+>
+>
+>\system\currentcontrolset\services\rdr\parameters
+>
+>
+>
+>3. From the Edit menu, select Add Value.
+>
+>4. Add the following:
+>
+>
+>
+>Value Name: EnablePlainTextPassword 
+>
+>Data Type: REG_DWORD
+>
+>Data: 1
+>
+>
+>
+>5. Choose OK and quit Registry Editor.
+>
+>6. Shutdown and restart Windows NT.
