This is almost certainly a very simple thing. Have you turned on encrypted passwords?
In order to used Win98 or higher, you must have encrypted passwords on, additionally, you will find that the login name needs to be the same as the samba user name. There is a program with samba which will build the password file for you, the name escapes me right now. I would also suggest picking up the Users guide for Samba, it is available as a .pdf. if you can't find it, I can send it to you. this is the complete O'rielly book, it is about 450 page long, so if you don't want to burn that many printer pages, get thee to a bookstore! It discusses encrypted passwords in the first or second chapter. I can give more info if you get stuck, I just wanted to get this note out there to let you know there is hope :) Morgan Reed. > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrei Verovski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2001 11:25 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; debian-powerpc@lists.debian.org > Subject: Win2k and SAMBA problem > > > > Hi, > > > I have Linux with Samba 2.07 + sevaral Mac and PC workstations.
