> If I set both options to 'yes', then plaintext auth works, verifiable with both testparm and smbclient.
That is a good point. I greped the smb.conf file for a lanman option but didn't find one. I only added the "client plaintext auth = yes" option. I'll troubleshoot this the next time I have acess to the lab computer with this Ubuntu installation. Thank you for your rapid response. If the problem is due to not having the right config options, I'll try to figure out how to delete this bug so it doesn't take up any more of your time.
