samba - Oct 1998 - w98

Hi!

I have installed Samba 1.9.17p4 on Linux server.
PC with Windows95 and Windows NT( with registery set to enable plain text
password) are connected without any problem.
But PC with Windows98 are not.

Can anybody help me to resolve this problem?

Thank you.
Best regards, Oleg Kustov

If I'm right it was on this list bevor:
Windows98 also needs a registery setting for plain passwords, as 
encrypted are the default.

Hi!
Thanks for replay.

We have work places with W95 as well.
If You let samba support encrupted passwords You can't connect to samba
shares from W95!
I at last solve the problem by Windows registry! And it is different in WNT
and W98.
