Probably a Windows issue...  SSPI should be translated to Unicode on the 
wire, but it's possible Windows isn't doing that - which will fail if 
the clients aren't using the same codepage as the server.

Nothing that CVSNT can do about that easily (possibly by using the 
Unicode SSPI APIs but that would require other changes in the 
authentication).
