Hello: Last week, we upgraded from 1.x to Samba 2.0.3 (IRIX 6.5). We were not using the encrypted password setting with the 1.x Samba but installed 2.0.3 with enable encrypted = yes. With 1.x, we had some Win95 users, some Win98, and some WinNT (SP3). The Win95 users were able to map the drives OK without any system modification. However, the Win98 and WinNT users had to do the "EnablePlainTextPassword" registry entry to get in (which worked well enough). After upgrade to 2.0.3 (witn enable encrypted), I believe we have now made it possible for the Win98 and WinNT users to connect regardless of their "EnablePlainTextPassword" registry entry changes, if any. The problem is that I cannot seem to find any way to have the Win95 users map to the drives now. We're talking about a fairly late release Win95 here (4.00.950 B), and nothing seems to work. The error I get is "The password is incorrect. Try again." Is there a way out of this? Why can't my Win95 users map their drives? Thanks Mark Hunnibell markh@connix.com

Now your OSR2 clients are only sending plaintext (they probably don't have the system updates). I think it's one of the vredr updates, but there're a bunch of other ones that update other networking components. Go to: http://www.walbeehm.com/win95upd.html and read the scoop. You can download everything you need from there.
