Here's an important piece:
<snip>
The i5/OS system value QPWDLVL will directly impact QNTC authentication.
For QNTC to use NTLM authentication, this system value must be set to 0
or 2. You can read more detailed information on this system value, and
how it impacts QNTC and NetServer in the following Rochester Support
Center knowledgebase documents:

Yes they are but we switched to long mixed case passwords for added
security

Aren't iSeries password all caps by default?

On V5R4. The user I created just as a standard everyday user with *USER
class could not see the QNTC folder at all in the IFS. Could see root
and
QDLS but nothing else. I made that user a *SECOFR class user and could
see
Root, QOPenSYys, QDLS, QOPT, QNTC, QNetWare, QFileSvr.400. Opened QNTC
and
could see "too many" Windows servers (119 actually which is why I used
the
other term). Open any of those folders and I see nothing. Use windows to

look at those servers using the same username (and password) and I can
see
files.

p.s. discovered after the first e-mail that after trying to open more
than
5 servers my windows account gets disabled. Indicates to me that the
request is hitting the windows server but the password is not being sent

correctly. Did check multiple times- the passwords are the same. They
are
mixed case with numbers on each side. Either the iSeries is not sending
the password correctly or Windows is not accepting the password as it is

being sent (different protocol??)

Kind of flies in the face of:
"By using the i5/OS NetServer, System i(r) Navigator, integrated file
system
commands, user displays, or APIs, you can access the QNTC file system
through the integrated file system interface."

Are you talking QNTC itself, or folders within it?
