Hello I have a strange password problem between NT Workstation and samba 2.0.6. I use NDS to authenticate the users-accesses on my linux-servers. The NDS creates a user-profile on the nt-workstations with the username and passwort of the user in the nds. To make samba ready for authentication to the nds i have reconfigured the pam-config for samba, enabled the the plaintext-passwords on the nt-boxes, and enabled "encrypt passwords = no" in the smb.conf. While the login-script runs, the user is asked again for his password. The problem occurs only on nt-workstations. Is there any option to tell nt or samba the its will accept the passwords at first time when the nt connects to samba? Roland
Is there really no registry-key or patch for NT to solve this problem?
