samba - Dec 2001 - I can't browse from W2K

Dear Andrew, 

	I really need you help on the Samba server I have installed on a Sun
workstation with Solaris 2.8. The program have been compiled and installed
successfully and all the tests ( including testparm and smbclient -U% -L
localhost ) seemed to work fine. But when I tried to browse from my PC which has
W2K professional, it failed every time. I can see the workstation listed in my
Network Neighborhood but I can not open it. Every time an alert jumps out with
such message:" Can not access \\s3geda-1. Your account hasn't been
authorized to log on by the workstation". I tried to use console command
" net use"  but got the same error and had an error  1240.

	Could you please help me to find out what's wrong  with it? By the way, my
PC resides in a MS domain and gets IP address from DHCP. While the SUN
workstation have static IP address. They are in the same subnet.

	Thank you very much. I am looking forward to your reply.

You need to either set 'encrypt passwords = yes' in your smb.conf file
or apply one of the plaintext password registry hacks to your clients
(insecure).  The registry hacks are in the samba docs directory.

The normal way to store the Windows compatible passwords is to create an
smbpasswd file (smbpasswd -a user), but you might want to look into
running in 'security = domain' mode, where you pass the password back to
the windows DC.  Look into the username mapping options in the usernames
don't match up.
