Hi, I'm running windows 98 on my workstation and there're couple of unix boxes around, they're BSDI, SOLARIS which are all configured to run SAMBA. One strange thing is that everytime I try to get into my unix home dir under win98 workstation, I will be asked for a password, but no matter what password I put in, I won't be allow to go in. That didn't happen before under win95. Any suggestion? TIA

Samba expects plain text passwords by default. You can change samba to accept encrypted passwords OR edit the win98 registry to enable plain text passwords. I just did a real quick search for the key to add and found this on dejanews. I don't know if this is valid as I don't have Win98 clients to test this on. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP Add : EnablePlainTextPassword (dword format) value 1 Hope this helps! ->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->---<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-< James Thompson 138 Cardwell Hall Manhattan, Ks 66506 785-532-0561 Kansas State University Department of Mathematics ->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->---<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<
