I configured and installed Samba with encryption enabled (libdes-4.01), samba-1.9.16p9 on my Linux 2.0.33 server. I also used "smbpasswd" to set user's password. However, I am able to connect from Win'95 client or from a Win-NT3.51 client using my password.>From a NT 4.0 server with NT-ServicePack3 installed, I am unable toaccess Samba server. My guess is that the second password field in the smbpasswd file is not being used by samba. Anybody can give pointers as to the cause and possible fix to the problem?

By stating that you are using libdes-4.01 I would assume you have an old version. The encryption support is buitl in now. Also I am assuming that you do have encrypt password = yes in smb.conf as well. If not and you have not enabled the plain text password registry setting ( see docs/NT4_PlainPassword.reg ), then you would experince the problems you are describing.
