Hi, We have been experiencing problems where workstations (Win2K SP3, latest updates) have their registry setting for EnablePlainTextPassword set to 0 after reboot. We have Samba 2.27 and a pilot of Samba 3.0 Could it be one of MSs sercurity updates ? Has anyone seen this before ? Any input would be welcome ! Thanks, Laurent Biron Motorola.

I have a question about Win98 and Samba. Is there a registry fix similar to the WinNT plaintext passwd that needs to be performed? Win95, and WinNT can see Linux via Netbios, but the same machine, running Win98 cannot see the Linux box. I am running the most current version of Samba. The WinNT box can see the 98 machine fine. Does anyone have any experience with this? Please let me know if

Does anyone Know the procedure for Windows 2000 workstation, in order to not encrypt passwords. What I needed is something similar to the transcription I make below that works for windows nt4 and 98. Thank's Emanuel Duarte (Portugal) ********************************** This should take care of the "clear text password" problemsyou've encountered: For Win 98 (To enable

we are using samba Version 1.9.18p8 and want to connect WIN-NT 3.5.1 to Samba- supportet Unix-Drives; but for any reason the password for this connection is always needed (we did the registry for enableplaintextpassword); the same connection is done well on WIN95 could you figure out, what our problem is??? thank you Klaus-Dieter Wurm (dieter.wurm@de.origini-it.com)

After I have upgraded from previous version to 2.0, I don't manage to authenticate from clients (winnt4) to DigitalUnix3.2c with Samba anymore. Before the upgrade it worked fine. After the upgrade, my password is rejected. It's really a authentication problem because it works fine if I add "guest ok = yes". On the server I have: security = share On the client:

Hello, I'm a new subscriber and hope I don't break any rules. We have just bought some new PC's pre-installed with Windows 2000. On our previous installations (NT and 95/98) we applied the EnablePlainTextPassword registry patch to allow our PCs to communicate with our Unix server and other systems - no problem. Is there a similar patch for Windows 2000? We can't communicate,

We are using SAMBA 2.2.4 to support a large community of Windows users. The latest deployment of PC's come with Windows XP, and we need to disable Password Encryption on those to use SAMBA. We need help in locating the "EnablePlainTextPassword" key. Thanks in advance Jaime A Cifuentes

I have an old Samba network that uses unencrypted passwords. At the time, the posts were running win95. These days they are running win98 for the most part, but introducing new machines onto the network means fiddling with the EnablePlainTextPassword registry key. So currently, all the machines use plain-text passwords. I want to modify them all to use encrypted passwords. Naturally, I want to do

Hallo Liste Derzeit mache ich meine ersten Gehversuche mit Linux (SuSE). Bis jetzt habe ich in einem kleinen Netzwerk f?r meine Tauchschule vier Rechner betreut. Einer davon war WinNT-4.0 Server und Arbeitsplatz zugleich. Nachdem ich nicht mehr bereit bin, mich mit dem w?chentlichen "blue screen" und dem monatlichen Neuinstallieren von NT abzufinden, bin ich derzeit beim Umsteigen auf

I'm writing because I had a problem with Samba, while installing it on some of our computers with Windows 98 (beta 3). We have an internal network not accessible from the outside, in which we use the sending in the clear (I.E. not encrypted) of the access passwords to Samba running on a Sun machine with Unix Solaris OS. We use unencrypted passwords because Windows 95 doesn't support

Hi. Have FreeBSD and Samba 2.05a with lots of Win95 rev 2 clients. With the EnablePlainTextPassword=1 registry setting on the Win95 boxes I my students have been logging in fine. We now have a few Win98 boxes I'd like to connect, but I can't log in - I get refused at the IPC$ share. I can log in if I use rhosts, however I don't want to do this for security reasons. The key is

I have a mixed network of Win95, Win98 and Unix machines. I am using Samba very happily. I would like to add a Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 client machine to the network, but don't know how to turn off the password encryption. I am currently editing the registry on the Win98 machines. If someone can tell me how to edit the NT 4.0 and Win2000 registry I would appreciate it. Thanks, Dan

For those of you that have had/are having problems getting Win 98 clients to correctly authenticate, I have identified a stumbling block which I had to deal with. Specifically, EnablePlainTextPassword *must* be a DWORD value. In following the instructions found here, http://us1.samba.org/listproc/samba/October1998/0321.html and on the Microtheft web site, I installed the ptxt_on.inf file from the

Hello, I've got a problem. I've installed on a SuSE Linux 7.0 the Samba version 2.2.4. Now if i trie to join the domain with a win2k pc I get an error message back saying that the username and/or password I supplied does not match the ones Samba has got. On the win2k machine I have set the registry entry "enableplaintextpassword" and also in the smb.conf file I have set "nt

Hello, I have a configuration issue that I cannot seem to fix. Running Samba 2.2.2 on Sun Solaris servers using NIS Scenario: I have 5 different samba servers that I map permanent drives to in Windows 2000. When I boot 2000 I get a login for my username and password then it starts to automatically map the samba drives. I am then prompted for a username and password for each separate samba

I have a handful of machines with all of the latest windows updates, and the WinXP reghack wont stay. If I enter the EnablePlainTextPassword reghack, and reboot, all is fine, until the machine is logged off or rebooted, then it reverts back to EnablePlainTextPassword=no Seems to be only affected on machines using Novell 4.83.6 SP1 client... although something else could be the cause. Machines

I cannot seem to find the plain password patch for the registry for NT4 or 2000. Is there one patch that works for both? Can you point me to where I can download the patch? Matt Lester AISG Government Systems Network/System's Engineer (407) 581-2929 ext. 218
