Read encryption.txt in doc folder of your distribution.
Also on NT clients must have allow all uppercase enabled under folder
options.
You may also need to have usernames and passwords identical on both
linux and NT but it may not be nessecary for browsing, as I used samba
to implement Clearcase in a mixed mode env and that was a requirement.
