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.

C-ya,
Kenny
