Hello I cannot get my Windows98 machines to connect to my Samba server(2.2.4) shares. It appears that my Win machines are not transmitting the password. The Samba server looks OK. On the server machine, "smbclient -L <server> -U user1" prompts me for a passwd, then, after authentication, displays the shares. When I attempt to map a share from my Win machines, the samba log file shows ... smbd/reply.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X(973) Defaulting to Lanman password for user1 smbd/password.c:password_ok(593) Null passwords not allowed. smbd/reply.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X(989) Rejecting user 'user1': authentication failed smbd/error.c:error_packet(91) error string = No such file or directory ... I verified the null passwd being sent from the Win machines by turning on the sniffer(ethereal) on the samba server and looking at the packets coming through. In packets labeled by the sniffer "Session Setup AndX Request", I can see the account name, and primary domain name, but when it comes to the password, the length is set to '1' and the password is set to '00'. I am using the same login and passwords for both my Linux and Win98 machines. What am I missing? I would appreciate any info or insight as to what will help me solve my problem.

[Samba] Windows won't send passwd to samba server
Hi CJ, are you using UNENCRYPTED passwords? (ie if you do testparm|grep "encrypt pass" does it come back and say "encrypt passwords = no") If so, then this is normal windows client behavior (for later clients like win2k) - they can successfully negotiate cleartext passwords, but will not actually SEND a cleartext password across the wire until you respond to a prompt that asks for username password again. The first time, it sends a null password (as you see in the trace), and then when it fails, should ask you for a username and password. If you type in the correct username and password then, it should work... Hope this helps, Don -----Original Message----- From: CJ ferguson [mailto:cjferg@pacbell.net] Sent: Friday, May 31, 2002 1:13 To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] Windows won't send passwd to samba server Hello I cannot get my Windows98 machines to connect to my Samba server(2.2.4) shares.
