I have responded to a few people's Windows -> Samba Server UNIX password connection problems, the resolution being Samba's need to see the password passed as encrypted. The relevant URL from Samba's site to help get you started is: http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/FAQ/#11 Perform a search on 'encrypt' and follow the leads from there. Windows NT 4.0 with at least Service Pack 3 and Windows 98 both need the Encryption option enabled in the /etc/smb.conf file and the daemon restarted. Hope that helps those with NT and 98 boxes. Scott
