Actually, I don't believe Frederick's problem is dealt with in the
ENCRYPTION.txt
document. My impression from what Frederick is asking is that he is not using
samba for password authentication. Rather, that he simply wants to access a
samba share from a Windows box.
If this is correct, then his problem is more likely that his Windows
registry has
EnablePlainTextPassword turned off.
He needs to create a new DWord, EnablePlaintextPassword
Use regedit.
For Win 2000, the DWord has already been created by default (but is set to
0). It is in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SYSTEM | CurrentControlSet | Services |
lanmanworkstation | parameters
The value must be changed to 1.
For Win NT, The DWord must be created (and set to 1). It needs to be
created in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SYSTEM | CurrentControlSet | Services | Rdr | Parameters
For Win 98, The DWord must be created (and set to 1). It needs to be
created in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | System | CurrentControlSet | Services | VxD\VNETSUP
For Win 95, the DWord setting is not necessary. Win 95 only sends plaintext
passwords.
