Hi there, I set up my samba that it acts as a domain controller, when i start network neigborhood and click on the linux system and select netlogon ([NETLOGON] entry in smb.conf) i first had the problem with windows 98 that my password always was wrong. i fixed this with a registry setting (something with plaintext), now this part works. Now i configured my windows 98 for using a domain-server, and again i have a password problem!! I don't know how to fix it ? (again a registry entry?) i'm using 1.9.18p8 this is my smb.conf : [global] workgroup = NOSFERATU guest account = nobody serverstring = Debian GNU/Linux 2.0 Hamm #netbios name = Freesystems guest ok = yes printing = bsd share modes = yes wins support = yes domain logons = yes logon script = login.bat [netlogon] path = /home/netlogon writeable = no guest ok = no [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no read only = yes create mode = 0777 bye, Hans Eichbaum
Hi
As far as I know, domain logons do NOT work with cleartext passwords. IF you
want to use domain logons, you have to set
encrypted passwords = yes
in your smb.conf, and add all users that use samba with
smbpasswd -a <username>
More informations in on the Internet and in the samba-docs

IF younot true at all at least for me and my win95 samba is authenticating 7 win95 boxes without *any* encrypted passwd. I had just to use the parameter passwd level because the Windows boxen are sending the plaintext passwd in UPPERCASE whatever manner you typed it in. It works great otherwise : policies, startup scripts for each client, etc...
