I was able to confirm the "problem" that has been floating around the
vuln-dev list. It worked with the value of NTLM being 0, and also worked
as 1. Other posters confirm that they may login as "Administrator" via
such methods, I was unable to confirm such a result. It is my
understanding that in order for this little flaw to work, you may not
have the Guest account disabled.
