..another password problem with samba. it works fine from the server with smbclient -L but not so from a Win98 pc. net view exits with error 86, network password not correct. i think i tried all with correct spelling and upper/lower case stuff. and it should not be a host-allow/deny problem. here what the syslog says: file /etc/smb.conf -> /etc/smb.conf last mod_time: Tue May 4 11:21:22 1999 1999/05/04 13:49:29 error packet at line 644 cmd=115 (SMBsesssetupX) eclass=2 ecode=2 error string = No such file or directory size=35... and so on furthermore there appears something with NativeOS=[Windows 4.0] NativeLanMan=[Windows 4.0] does that mean my Win98 is seen as NT4.0 from the server? i don4t know ..hope you do!

It is the same problem as the Windows 95 redirector update. The Windows 98 client will not negotiate plain text passwords and thus anything you send is rejected. For a fix, either... * see the Win95_plainpassword.reg file distributed with Samba * setup the samba servebr to support SMB password encryption (see ENCRYPTION.txt)> furthermore there appears something with > NativeOS=[Windows 4.0] NativeLanMan=[Windows 4.0] > > does that mean my Win98 is seen as NT4.0 from the server?No. Only as Windows version 4.0 (ie Win95/98) jerry ________________________________________________________________________ Gerald ( Jerry ) Carter Engineering Network Services Auburn University jerry@eng.auburn.edu eng.auburn.edu/users/cartegw "...a hundred billion castaways looking for a home." - Sting "Message in a Bottle" ( 1979 )
