Novice: Both encrypted and Unencrypted Passwords?
I've been browsing FAQ's and lists for weeks and havn't found an answer yet so please forgive my newbie-ness. I'm working on a net which has Win 95 (original) Win NT4 ws sp 1 Win 98 Win 2000 ?Professional? Win Me SunOS 5.6 I want all of them to access user level shares on a new Samba 2.0.6 / Mandrake 7.1 server. Can Samba recognise both encrypted and plain passwords ? If I put encrypted passwords = yes in my smb.conf does that prevent the '95 and NT boxes logging in. Eventually I want the samba box to control a domain. Can it do this. What does smb.conf need ?

Upgrade to 2.0.7 to avoid known problems with W2K. The only point to mention is that your SunOS box might not behave as convenient as you might like it.

I've used two methods for this. 1) Bypass the issue by letting an NT4 server, SP3 or higher, act as a domain or password server. The registry must be modified to allow plain text passwords. 2) Use NetBIOS aliases and include files. Set your server to advertise itself as two different server names In the [global] section your smb.conf file add lines something like: netbios name = samba_encrypted netbios aliases = samba_unencrypted include = /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf.%L You then need an include file for each netbios name. In this case /usr/local/lib/smb.conf.samba_encrypted and /usr/local/lib/smb.conf.samba_unencrypted. The include file for encrypted connections should contain: encrypt passwords = Yes smb passwd file = /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd The include file for unencrypted connections should contain: encrypt passwords = No -- Lynn Danielson lynnd@clue.denver.co.us
