I am using samba-1.9.16p2-2 on Linux. Have used it for about 2 years with no problems. None. I have several Win95 units that access it. I loaded Win98 on one of the units and now I can browse the directories but I cannot enter any directory that requires a password. Win98 reports that the password is incorrect. I might add that Win98 also gets stuck in one of Microsofts loops in that since it states the password is wrong if you try to cancel it of cource keeps trying until you kill the program that is trying to access the samba volume. Also printing does not work for the same reason (password not correct). Any Ideas. Mayby a new version of Samba? Mayby do not use Win98? Thanks PS I do not like MS and I do not like anyone that does.

Win98 uses encrypted passwords, Win95 doesn't. You may either - enable plain passwords for your Win98 box (there's a *.REG for NT, I've been told it works for Win98 too) or - enable encrypted passwords for your samba box (see ENCRYPTION.txt). good luck, Ludolf

Use the Win95 one - docs/Win95_PlainPassword.reg in the Samba distribution. You'll need to reboot after you've set it.
