samba - Jul 2000 - Problem connecting Windows 2000 Professional to Samba 2.0.7 share

Earlier tonight, I sent the following message to the list, and 
recieved several responses, all of which were very helpful.

I found the following solution in the mailing list archive using the 
search feature (it does work yall).

For Windows 2000 machines that are unable to connect to Samba 
Shares, the following registry hack will solve your problem:

	
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\La
nmanWorkStation\Parameters

Add value EnablePlainTextPassword = 1

This works, I just verified it on 3 seperate machines.

Thanks,

Charles



Greetings,

I have a Samba 2.0.7 server running on FreeBSD 4.0 Release.  It 
works flawlessly, with one exception.  When I try and connect my 
Windows 2000 Professional workstation to a samba share, 
windows 2000 returns the following error message:

	System Error 1240 has occured.
	The account is not authorized to log in from this station.

I am using the following command to connect (from a command 
window):
	
	net use m: \\otis\charles

This command works flawlessly from all of my win98 and win95 
machines.

Below is a copy of my smb.conf file:

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from UNKNOWN (0.0.0.0)
# Date: 2000/06/27 00:59:46

# Global parameters
[global]
	workgroup = workgroup
	log file = /var/log/log.%m
	max log size = 50
	interfaces = 192.168.0.4
	netbios name = otis
	dns proxy = No
	server string = SambaServer

[homes]
	comment = Home Directories
	read only = No
	browseable = No

[printers]
	comment = All Printers
	path = /var/spool/samba
	print ok = Yes
	browseable = No

[music]
	browsable = Yes
	comment = Music
	write list = @peters
	create mode = 777
	directory mode = 777
	writable = yes
	path = /usr/sshare/music

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Charles

this will work , but I think inclusion of 

encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file=/usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd

in the global section of your conf file

and using smbpasswd -a  to add your users  would be better
than sending unencypted passwords.
