Hello all, I have just installed samba on my linux machine, but failed to browse Linux resources from a Windows2000 machine. But if i changed the 'security = user' to 'security = share', i can browse linux from Windows2000 box, i don't think i have problems with the connections. I guess there must be something wrong with the password authentication methods. I read the Win95.txt and another WinNT articles in the samba pack but have trouble to find both the REG keys it mentioned. There is no such a sub-hive called 'Rdr' as the NT articles mentioned. nor one called 'VNETSUP' but there do exist VxD hive. I don't know what wrong i have done wrong. When i click the ICON stands for the linux box, it showes me a dialogbox saying that "The credentials supplied confict with an existing set of credentials", using "Net View" returns "Access is denied". I also read the DISAGNOSIS.txt file and find it says " enable passwords AFTER compiling in support for encrypted passwords(refer to the Makefile)'" What does it mean? I'm still a new comer to Linux world, and hope you can help me. Best regards Alex Don MCSE, MCP+I mailto:dongping@pub.zj.jsinfo.net
