samba - Apr 2004 - Samba3.xx -Stand alone on Solaris 8 machines: XP-Clientsin an Act iveDirectory Domain cannot connect the shares

Hello,

migrating from Samba2.2.8 to 3.0.2a we found out that changing the
encryption-method on the Linux-Servers from DES to MD5 solved the connecting
problem of the XP-Clients under ActiveDirectory.

Now there are the Unix-Servers with Solaris8 left to migrate. As far as we
know there is no option to change from DES to MD5.
Does anybody have an idea how the XP-clients could connect to the
Samba-shares on the Solaris8-Server and wether it is absolutely necessary to
change the encryption method?

Kind regards
