It works (I'm using that now) but my system is internet connected
as well, so it's not very secure. I have set "allow hosts =" to limit
connections but do want to allow some outside access; unfortunately
it does not seem to be possible to set this on a host + username basis.
Still, I think I might be able to use auto-logon in Win95 to have a password
for those machines and not prompt for it. I will try this later.
