The SAMBA documentation appears to be incomplete
in places and appears to assume starting from
scratch.

Anyone have any exeprience of this?

I had a mixture of NT and W9 which has now shed the W9 (oddly, I may find 
myself putting a W3 machine back on the network at some point.

There is a REG file that tells NT to use unencrypted passwords, then reboot it 
a couple of times and it should work.

Are you running a domain - PDC - from Samba, or just wanting to share as a 
domain server?

Open Source is a necessary but not of itself sufficient condition.
