I would not do either. Since you have NT, you can avoid the need
for Netbios as aquarela answers on 445 (and probably needs an option
to make it answer netbios calls as well). Also, NT passwords are
insecure enough as it is, without using cleartext. Plan 9 won't
tolerate that anyway, so you have to use NTLM passwords.

Your problem is (half) explained by...

IIRC that's because aquarela had a problem with contacting the auth server.
Presumably I didn't handle the condition correctly, and dereferenced
a null pointer later.

PS I may be responsible for aquarela, but regretably I don't
have a Plan 9 network on which I could debug it for you just right now.
