The line to add to the global section of your samba config is: encrypt passwords = Yes Then, you add accounts via the smbpasswd utility. The samba password file resides in /usr/local/private/smbpasswd. Joe Clarke On Fri, 1 Oct 1999, Richard Morte wrote: > Hi, > > I have SAMBA configured for FReeBSD and a number of Win machines.
