samba - Dec 2002 - Still Problems with Samba and Sco OpenServer 5

Hi All,
            Am I in the right group for samba problems?
            I only ask as I have received no replies not even "Post to the
right Group" type of reply.

            Further to my original mail, I have now copied the ip addresses of
all my machines and placed them in the /etc/hosts file.

            the command server% nmblookup -B xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx '*'  now
comes back with the correct responses, but I still think the problem is to do
with
            the nmbd Daemon.  How would I go about re-installing this? 
            There is no point me re installing samba as It was installed from a
tape, so re installation will put me back where I started from.
            I have got a little further, I can see the server from a win98
machine but cant access as it all ways tells me the password is incorrect.

            Any help in this would be greatly appreciated even if its to point
me to the correct group if this isn't.

Merry Xmas

Adrian

Adrian,

Sounds like you need to add to your smb.conf file [globals] section,
'encrypt password = Yes'. Then for each user on your network run:

	smbpasswd -a 'user_name'

Also, have you updated samba to a near recent version?
If not, you could try to contact Ron Record <rr@sco.com> and ask him for
help getting up to date. Ron handles SCO Skunkware.

Let me know how this goes. I will try to help you.
