Hello, I've searched the Howtos, but I did not find anything, so I'm asking this question onlist. When are connections between Samba and the client encrypted? I run Samba 3.0.20a on a network with Windows XP SP2 and some Windows 98 machines. - Are connections always encrypted? Are there any smb.conf settings I have to make in order to get encryption working (server signing?)? - Are just authentication requests encrypted or are file transfers encrypted as well? Thanks! Florian

See the sections on 'encrypt passwords' and 'ntlm auth' in the smb.conf man page. I don't think the data traffic is encrypted. You can tunnel port 139 to encrypt everything via SSH.
