I'm afraid I know the answer to this already, but...

A guy has an NT machine and a Win 98 machine. Two machines. He logs in on
the Win 98 machine, using the same username and password he uses on his NT
machine (he is the owner/administrator). He finds he can easily access the
shares on his NT machine.

Question: is his password traveling in clear text? If so, any way to
encrypt this?

thanks
