You're right... this was my problem.  Unfortunately, changing the
registry settings on 120+ NT machines isn't a feasible option.  I
did, however, find that there was a later version of Samba,
1.9.18p4 I believe, that was on the Samba home page in RPM format
with the DES libs compiled in already.  I have successfully
gotten my share to work.  Thanks for your help.

But I have one further question, maybe you can help with this
one:

I want the share name to be Pieckiel (or anything else, really),
but my username to be kevin.  The *ONLY* way I can log into the
service is if the share name matches my username.  When I expand
this and put it into use for real, this is undesireable.  Any
clues?

And where are the docs that tell me that smbadduser exists?  8-) 

Thanks!
