It seems I read something about the encrypted password thing being the holdup. Probably due to MS using some proprietary format and not sharing. Big surprise there! I think if you just try turning off the encrypted passwords you will find it works. I seem to also remember that Windows 95 had this problem for a while, but 98 did not.
