samba - Oct 1998 - Need help connecting NT workstation to Samba Server

I have a few DOS and Win95 PC's connecting to our Linux  2.0.33 server
running Samba v1.9.18p3.  This weekend, I am installing a WinNT
workstation on the LAN.  I can't for the life of me connect the NT
station to any of the SAMBA services.  It keeps telling me I have the
wrong username/password.
My setup:
Windows NT Workstation SP3 (with the registry set to disable encrypted
passwords).
Linux 2.0.33 Samba 1.9.18p3.

I am not using a special Samba password file, just using normal Unix
authentication.  I don't care about NT login scripts or anything like
that, I just want to be able to connect to a few drives.

The NT workstation can see the Samba server in the Network
neighborhood.  I set up a user on the NT SAM that is the same logon
and password as on the Linux box and use that account to log in.

I'll post an edited version of my smb.conf.  

I desperatly need help.  Please post any suggestions to the list and
carbon copy my email as I only receive the digest and can't wait until
the end of the day.

Thanks for any help!

smb.conf:
workgroup = OFFICE
server string = Linux (WinNT) File Server
hosts allow = 192.168.1. 192.168.2 127.
load printers = yes
printcap name = /etc/printcap
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
security = server 

I just read a blurb in the Samba book which states that in order to
use unix authentication, security has to be set to user or share - if
this is so, why would the win95 and dos machines be able to get in???
Is this my problem?

I think that there is stuff in 1.19.18p10 that helps with encrypted 
passwords.  Try downloading the latest from 
http://samba.anu.edu.au/samba

cheers,

Hugh Nelson.

The quick-and-dirty solution:  Use unencrypted passwords.  Run regedit
on the NT machine and create DWORD value

HKLM\SYSTEM\Current Control Set\Services\Rdr\Parameters\EnablePlainTextPassword

and give it value 1.

There's something in the docs directory about this.
