samba - Aug 1999 - IPC$ - password

Dear Samba Experts,

after browsing the mailing list archives for some time I still do
not have a solution for the following problem:

I recently set up the Samba Server Version 2.0.5a on a SuSE-Linux 6.0 PC
(Kernel 2.0.36).

Whenever I try to reach the shares on this machine from Windows 95 or
Windows NT machines (with different user-names) in our Network, 
by double-clicking on the servername in the 'networkneighbourhood', 
I am asked for the IPC$ - password (on 95) or for username and password
(on NT), before beeing able to see the shares.

Here is my smb.conf :

[global]
        workgroup = MPCH-PC
        server string = Samba 2.0.5a on Linux 2.0.36
        interfaces = 192.67.218.53/255.255.255.0
        security = share
        encrypt passwords = No
        keepalive = 30
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY
        os level = 2
        guest ok = Yes

[cdrom]
        comment = Linux CD-ROM
        path = /cd
        locking = No

[printers]
        comment = All Printers
        path = /tmp
        create mask = 0700
        print ok = Yes
        browseable = No

[open]
        path = /home/joeckel/open


What am I doing wrong ?
Any help is appreciated !

Sincerely,

          Patrick Joeckel

patrick,

Search a SAMBA site for windows registry entries.  The problem is your
windows boxes are encrypting the passwords and SAMBA expects plain text.
Each flavor of windows needs a different .reg file added to the registry.

If you can't find them,  email me and I'll search too.
