There is a PWD line in samples/odbc.ini.  Is it not used?  

Chris, you should have this in your freetds.conf:

[SBS]
        host            = 12.178.18.4
        port            = 1433
        tds version     = 4.2

I recommend you indicate your host by name, for sanity's sake.  FreeTDS
won't mind, though, either way.
