In case anyone is interested: I built Samba 2.2.2 with theses configure options: "--with-smbmount --with-pam --with-libsmbclient --with-winbind". I set up my smb.conf and set encrypted passwords = no. I don't have an smbpasswd file anywhere on my system. I rebooted my wifes system into Windows, and sure enough, there was my laptop in "Network Neighborhood". Double-clicked on it, put in my regular username and password, and whaddaya know..... It actually worked! I have to run some packet sniffing tests to see how the password is passed over the wire before I certify it, but it seems to work pretty well so far. I also have to see how things like login scripts, windows mounts, etc. work.
