Hi, I've recently upgraded a few of the win98 machines here to win2kpro, and now, after logging in, the password has to be entered again for the shares. I've searched around but can't find a solution to this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is on Samba 2.0.7 on FreeBSD, and here is smb.conf: [global] guest account = nobody security = user workgroup = WORKGROUP dead time = 10 read prediction = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192 debug level = 1 max log size = 1000 os level = 33 domain logons = yes wins support = yes domain master = yes preferred master = yes interfaces = de0 [printers] path = /var/spool/public printable = yes public = yes writable = no create mode = 0700 guest ok = no [homes] public = no writable = yes printable = no valid users = %S user = %S [shared] path = /home/shared public = no writable = yes printable = no create mask = 0775 oplocks = false Kind regards, Ben
You are running with plaintext passwords. Win2K will not connect to a server running in plaintext password mode without asking for the password. This dialog is VERY misleading to people. It is not that the other password is wrong or NT doesn't know the password. This is to prevent you from accidently sending your password to a malicious server. What the dialog is really saying is "You are in plaintext mode. Do you REALLY want me to send your password over the wire?" See the docs for changing to encryped passwords if you want to get rid of this prompt.
