I am looking for the answer for the same subject. Currently I have Linux 2.0.36 running on my linux box. I would like to install Samba server on the box. I am expecting the Windows XP client will access to the box for file transfer. If someone have the answer for the question whether the Samba 2.0.5a support window XP client? It would be greatly appreciated for any idea or clue to help with the answer. Thanks.

You will most definitely not get all the functionality you might get from a recent version. It should be possible to compile 3.0.23d even on a 2.0.36 Linux kernel. Maybe not directly, it might require some tweaks. Volker -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Debian is "bleeding edge" compared to this ;-) Like Volker said, don't expect more than basic functionality. Copying files to a Samba server should work. Even your neighbours from Redmond know about backwards compatibility. I think you should give it a try. A basic samba installation is set up in minutes and deleted even faster! Greets to Seattle (loved it!), timbo
Updating to a Samba 3 will provide better support for XP clients. That said, I used 2.2.7 for XP clients for about a year. All that was required was setting to 0 (zero) the Windows XP registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Service\Netlogon\Parameters\requiresignorseal Then Windows XP should authenticate.
