     Perhaps you can explain this mystery.  We set up samba on psyche this 
week using server=domain security.  I had a user set up a linux user 
account using their NT user account and password.  Linux complained that 
the password was too short, so they used a different password.  When they 
accessed their /home directory on the linux server from a windows 2000 
workstation where they were logged in with their domain user account, they 
got full access to their /home directory, e.g. could write to it.  I was 
suprised.  How could this be when the passwords are not the same?
