Win95 does not ask user before sending the Domain password in
plaintext. I just checked this here, you just have to compile Samba with
no DES support, DEBUG_PASSWORD option and debug level 100 to see what
happens.

What saves Win95 is that is does not understand the \\<IP-Address>\SHARE
Cifs syntax. But on local network with broadcast name resolution ...
And with previous bugs of Internet Explorer, you kown how to add lines
to LMHOSTS via Web browser :(
