we are using samba Version 1.9.18p8 and want to connect WIN-NT 3.5.1 to Samba- supportet Unix-Drives; but for any reason the password for this connection is always needed (we did the registry for enableplaintextpassword); the same connection is done well on WIN95 could you figure out, what our problem is??? thank you Klaus-Dieter Wurm (dieter.wurm@de.origini-it.com)
