Right, you must be using samba!

Tell you frankly, Win NT/2000/XP has a newer version of security model
that is different from Windows 95/98/Me. On NT/2000/XP, user-level
security involves access control lists (ACLs) too.

Try reading Using Samba, 2nd Edition (has a online version too) By Jay
Ts, Robert Eckstein, and David Collier-Brown, specially chapter 5 and
some bit of winbind. That will help you on dealing with encrypted
authentications with 2000/XPs.

5. Unix Clients
Sharing Files on Windows 95/98/Me
Sharing Files on Windows NT/2000/XP
smbclient
smbfs
smbsh
smbutil and mount_smbfs
