However, samba is still occassionally either receiving the wrong password or passing it to the domain wrongly with the result that I get my account locked out (our policy is 10 attempts and lockout). Should I disable the registry entry for EnableClearTextPasswords now that I'm (I think) using encrypted passwords? But then I'll need to make smbpasswd entries for anyone in the organisation that wants to connect.. Also, it appears that although the 'force user = andreww' is in effect, it still needs a login entry/smbpasswd for 'jons' -...

Howdy: I'm new to this samba stuff, but I've run across a problem that doesn't seem to be documented anywhere. It seems that OSR/2 clients (with all the M$ system updates; I already added the EnableClearTextPassword key) that have had their TCP/IP settings tweaked in the registry (eg, MaxMTU=576, TTL=32, RWIN added, etc) for DUN connections have mucho problems with a samba server on the LAN.
