[Samba] Trouble connecting to Samba 3.3.2 on Ubuntu from Win98
Greetings- Since the last time I tried to connect a Win98 client PC to our Samba PDC I upgraded the PDC from Debian Sarge and Samba 3.0.26a-1 from samba.org to an Ubuntu 9.04 server running Samba 3.3.2 from Ubuntu. I was able to port the smb.conf to the new server only changing the join domain script to account for Debian/Ubuntu differences to that one line. I think I recall correctly the steps to connect Win98 to Samba, but it is not authenticating. I checked the box to log into a NT domain, and filled in the domain name. I also filled in the same domain name to the workgroup field "on the next tab from where I saw the NT domain name question". (Sorry, do not have the screen in front of me.) I do not recall it being more complicated than that. Once Win98 was rebooted, it comes up with a domain style login screen, and will not accept my password. The accounts are known good - I can log in from Windows XP / 2000 and Linux computers just fine. I see log files for this Win98 client showing up - both a IP addy named log and a hostname named log, both are zero (0) length. Possibly did I forget a critical detail somewhere?

I think you have to set encrypt passwords = false lanman auth = true which is not enabled by default since it is considered a big security hole.

I guess I will crank up the Samba logging level. (shrug) -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems http://www.lueckdatasystems.com/

(shrug)As soon as I cranked the logging up to 10, Win98 connected in just great. Suspicious I set logging back to 1, still logged in. I commented out the "lanman auth = true" line and Win98 could not log in. I put it back in, and Win98 again works. (shrug) Problem solved with that one line after all. Thanks very much! :-) Sincerely, -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems http://www.lueckdatasystems.com/

I do use OS/2 on occasion, I have neither of those in my smb.conf, and it worked while on the Debian Sarge / 2.0.26a configuration. I have not tried since migrating, so perhaps I will get bit when I do, so thanks in advance! ;-) Sincerely, -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems http://www.lueckdatasystems.com/
