Mr. Mattern has it occured to you that I am not looking to accept null
passwords but I am in fact looking to see if a client of mine is?????
I am an auditor, whose Linux skills are obviously a little rusty...
and I'd like some help determining if the above mentioned string
indicates that for systems using a Windows platform to authenticate to
the network which houses a Linux server means that Linux server also
accepts null passwords????
