Hello all I've had samba up and running for a while now. All was perfect until I "upgraded" my client from win95 to 98. Now, the samba server rejects my user password. Checked the following: *caps lock not on *I can log in from smbclient on the server *set the password again using smbpasswd I'm stumped! This is probably a simple thing but it's got me.

(encrypt passwords = yes) turn that on in samba and you're good to go (that might break other win95 clients thought) the other option is to turn off the encrypted passwords in win98 i don't remember how but it's in the howto collection.
You need to read about encrypted passwords in the documentation. Windows 98 uses encrypted passwords by default and the earlier versions of Windows 95 use plaintext passwords. You can force both versions of Windows to do whichever one you decide to do. If you only have one win98 box on the network you'll probably want to use plaintext passwords to start and figure out how to move everyone to encrypted passwords.
