Hello, A Samba greenie here that needs help. We are running version 1.9 on HP-UX 10.20. Windows 95/98 users are not being prompted to enter their UNIX password when they log into the network...however, NT/2000 users are being prompted every time they log in. What do I need to configure to keep this from happenning? Thanks, Kevin Kevin Mudd System Administrator ADP Inc. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hi Kevin, As long as you continue to use cleartext passwords (encrypt passwords = no in smb.conf) you are just gonna have to LIVE with this behavior. This is a design change for newer clients like win2k, where it will NOT send a cleartext password accross the wire without explicit interactive confirmation (the username/password window) from a human.

As an alternative answer, read Encryption.txt in the Samba documentation for instruction on implementing encrypted passwords. If all your clients are newer, (Win 95 and up), this can potentially greatly simplify your life.

As a follow up this this thread, Myself and Kmudcat have continued a few exhanges off list. It turns out that he has Security = DOMAIN and is authentication users via a Windows NT PDC.... The original problem was that Win 2K clients request a password every time a connection to a Samba share is made. I am not familiar enough with this scenario to know what is causing this, or the appropriate solution. It would appear that since Encryption = Yes was put in, nobody can connect to Samba Shares. I will let KmudCat fill in any details I have wrong.

This sums it up pretty well. I will continue to play with it in the hopes of coming to a solution. Many thanks for the help you all have given me thus far.
