Mohamed, When you are connecting to Windows machines you should have Encrypt Passwords = yes in your smb.conf file John On Mon, 6 May 2002, Mohamed Aly wrote:> when i mount smb file system or access windows nt shared the passwd send from > my linux machine with plan text or encrypted ? > >-- Computers to Help People, Inc. http://www.chpi.org 825 East Johnson; Madison, WI 53703
john thanx for your reply but iam not agree with you coz i think that "Encrypt Passwords = yes" option is used just when other NT machines want to connect to your samba server coz NT by default using encrypted pass so i have to enable passwd encreption on my samba server and define the encreption passwd file for it . but iam asking about the reversed operation . when iam tring to connect to NT machine from smbclient command the passwd is encrypted as well or not ? "iam tring to be sure about it coz i dont want to let someone sniff my NT passwd :)) " thanx alot On Monday 06 May 2002 10:07 pm, you wrote:> Mohamed, > When you are connecting to Windows machines you should have > Encrypt Passwords = yes > in your smb.conf file > John > On Mon, 6 May > > 2002, Mohamed Aly wrote: > > when i mount smb file system or access windows nt shared the passwd send > > from my linux machine with plan text or encrypted ?
