I am most concerned about the password having to be in plaintext when 
transmitted over the network.  Even if
there is a way without a full samba server deployment to have the 
password sent in encrypted form over the
network, that would be great.  The server is probably the latest 
incarnation of Windows server.  I don't
like the idea of having to have a Linux user for every Windows user 
either.
