samba - Mar 1998 - "The account is not authorized to login from this station"

I am trying to map a network drive from NT 4.0 to a Solaris 2.6 box.
After entering userid and password I get the message:

     The account is not authorized to login from this station

in a dialog box on the NT machine. Ironically I can get into the target
system fine from one station but not from any others.

Any ideas what's not set up properly?

isn't a `allow hosts' or `deny hosts' flag preventing you from
logging
in?

This happens if you install service pack 3 or Win95. 
NT4 with SP3 will send encrypted passwords which samba (on default) 
cannot understand. 
If you need high security see the "ENCRYPTION.txt" in the docs 
directory. 
Otherwise you can turn on plain passwords under NT in the registry,
see docs directory (NT4_PlainPassword.reg, Win95_PlainPassword.reg).

I think this error message is to confuse hackers :-)

Check NT4_EnablePlain...reg file in docs direectory of distribution.  If
you have install SP3 and do not use encrypted passwords on the samba
server you get this error.



Hope this helps,
