samba - Oct 2000 - My SMB client prob

Dear Mike & Samba Team,
few days ago I have sent email to samba@samba.org and I have got an answer
from Mike.
I tolld about a dialog box that Im getting at the time Im clicking on the
smb server computer icon and it wants a Resource: \\LILOBOOT\IPC$ and Mike
announced me that this is an Internal name. Im reading the ENCRYPTION.txt
file and I cant get the answer I have fixed the smbpasswd by doing: cat
/etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh >/etc/smbpasswd
and its ok as I saw in the document...but now I still cant login from the
box that Im getting from the Network Neighborhood.  In the smb.conf file I
have enables the encrypt password= yes and smbpasswd file= /etc/smbpasswd
and its still not working.
I dont know why all the passwords arent ok...can I disable encryption or
something to disable the box that Im getting at the time im clicking on the
share icon in the network neighborhood. the title of this box is: Enter
Network Password.
BTW: I have enable the PlainTextPassword in the windows registery. I have
do all the things I can...is it something with the config files or
something with my SMB files? Im tring to get it working something like 3
days and Im still lost. cna you give me any help How to do that -
step-by-step please? coz I really lost in it.
I will be very happy! Thank you alot! if you need my smb.conf file I will
send it or any other file but plaese, help me. Thanks alot!

Ah...but the smbpasswd file has no password set in it.
the mksmbpasswd.sh script only creates the user 
template entries.

Did you reboot afterwards?

Set these in smb.conf

	encrypt passwords = no

Also see the password level parameter in the 
smb.conf(5) man page.

After you do that, if you still have problems, let me know.




Cheers, jerry
