I have found a solution to the encryption dilemma.  Although I had originally wanted to get OS/2 to use encryption, I have found that I can get samba to recognize both.
Within the smb.conf file I placed:
   encrypt passwords = yes
   include = /etc/samba/smb.%a      #%a = OS (for OS/2 %a="OS/2")
The first line makes the default "yes", the 2nd includes a file called "smb.OS2". 
This file has a single line: "encrypt passwords = yes"
This is an acceptable solution for me.  However, if there a way to get OS2 to encrypt, I am interested.

Hello,
  I have been successfully connecting OS/2 Warp 4 to a Redhat RHEL5 Linux/Samba server for years.  Now I find that I must allow access to a Windows Vista client which appears to require encrypted passwords.  When I do this, OS/2 gets and access denied message when trying to make a logon.  As far as I know, I can switch my samba configuration to be either encrypted or not, but not both.
  Any suggestions on how to connect both Vista and OS2/2 at the same time?
