Primary Network Logon in 9x

[Guest]

What is the difference between 'Windows Logon'
and 'Client for Microsoft Networks' with respect
to 'Primary Network Logon'?

I understand that 'Client for Microsoft Networks' must be
set as the 'Primary Network Logon' in order authenicate
against a NT domain server. However, what is function
of 'Client for Microsoft Networks' in a workgroup setting

- What workgroup machine is it authenicating to?
- Does it avoid authenication and just cache the user
name and password for later share access?
- Does it automatically load the corresponding local user
account with the same user name?
- Windows 9x had share level security, do the client
versions of NT, 2000, and XP have user level security or
do they only share level?

Can anyone describe the network logon process in detail?

You can still load the redirector in a workgroup, you can also access
resources both domain and workgroup resources. The trick is with Windows
9x you have to be sure you logon with the right username because you cannot
connect as later on as you can in NT.
