Windows98 uses encrypted passwords. You have two options, turn off
encrypted password in Windows 98, or turn them on in Samba. I chose the
former, though a good explaination of both are in the samba documentation.
(You may have to get a newer version of Samba)
To turn off ecrypted passwords in '98, open regedit, follow these
instructions:
(From Samba documentation)
1) Launch the Registry Editor as follows:
Click on: /Start/Run
Type "regedit" and press enter.
2) Double click on: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
3) Locate the following Key:
/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/VxD/VNETSUP
4) From the menu bar select Edit/New/DWORD Value
5) Rename the entry from "New Value #1" to:
EnablePlainTextPassword
6) Press Enter, then double click on the new entry.
A dialog box will pop up and enable you to set a value.
You must set this value to 1.----------
