Come on. If all the people that were incompetent in this field were to be
fired there'd be few people left (well, may not be a bad idea actually).
Does this particular issue qualify as incompetent however? LAN Manager
sessions (SMB) and Windows authentication in general are very poorly
documented (and frequently complicated). An "access denied" error is one of
the most frequently encountered problems and few people really know how to
deal with it.
