I have been using NT for over 7 years and Linux for 2 years. I have 4
different SAMBA installations working great - some stand alone and some part
of an NT domain. I recently installed RedHat 7.0 on a new server and set up
a simple SAMBA server as shown in the config below. Most clients are W95
with a couple of W98 which I set the registry to support unencrypted
passwords.
Users that are part of the 'benadmin' group can access their home folder
and
the storage folder. Users that aren't part of benadmin only get an
'incorrect password' error and can't access anything. Strangely
enough, with
encrypted passwords set to off, I can see a PAM_Auth error in syslog saying
authentication failed (even though users as part of benadmin can still get
thru) and if I turn encrypted passwords on the syslog error disappears! This
is all very strange. Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated.

When I die, I want to go like my grandfather did, gently while sleeping,

nearest parachute.
