Strangely enough "Service Pack 3" changes the way the password database is accessed on NT. I don't say that this is a voluntary move from Micro$oft to burden Unix/NT interoperability, but...
I've heard there's a switch somewhere wich says "Allow clear passwords" or something of the like, and that "Service Pack 3" switches off. I have no clue of where this button hides in NT's widget forest.
If you can find where this switch is, could you please get back to me and tell me ? I might have to deal with this crap soon...
