This is actually a bit odd.  sec=ntlm is the default setting here on 
this older CentOS box.  I wonder if they've changed the default setting 
to sec=ntlm2 on the most recent Samba packages or something.  (NTLM2 is 
only available on recent 'Doze machines IIRC, while NTLM has been 
available for a very long time.)

This is less secure, but if this is only available to your home 
network, convenience may be more important than security.

Many things are when you know all the stuff that's happening.  "The 
password for this automated job is 'password509'."  Fat-finger this as 
'password508'.  Spend a long time wondering why the automated job isn't 
working, because the error messages from the job failing are being sent 
to someone who isn't me who's wondering why they're getting fail mail.

That's a bit of a ways to go for me (Tempe, south of ASU) but I'll keep 
it in mind if I'm ever out there.  I remember using Logo on an Apple //c 
without a color monitor in the 1980s, so I'm probably old enough :-) .
