Joe, I'm using Samba on FreeBSD and connecting with Windows 98 no problems. I don't run NT but I don't think you HAVE to edit the registry, check here before you do anything! http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/FAQ/#28 Read the Samba docs on using encrypted passwords then I would install and run SWAT, it makes setting up Samba a snap. Finally, purchase "Samba Administrators Handbook" ISBN # 0-7645-4636-8 You will find it easy to read, very descriptive, and it covers the specifics of Linux, BSD, and Solaris installs.
