Windows 98 and NT4(SP3) _require_ encrypted passwords from
the server. There are two possible solutions:
- Enable encrypted passwords in Samba. This is the best solution
if the Samba server is being accessed by a WinNT boxes, or
a mixture of Win95/Win98/WinNT clients. However, password
encryption in samba requires another password file
(/usr/local/private/smbpasswd), which you would create, populate
and maintain.
- Disable the requirement of encrypted passwords in you Win98
clients. This needs a single addition to the Win98 registry:
go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP"
and add the value "EnablePlainTextPassword" = 1 (dword). Then
reboot.
You may want to read some documents in /usr/local/share/doc/samba,
such as Win95.txt (yes, Win95) or ENCRYPTION.txt.
Good luck,
