...but failed 8-10 -- in //doc/docs/textdocs/DIAGNOSIS.txt. Errors... TEST 8 "System error 5 has occured. Access is denied." TESTS 9 & 10 "The account is not authorized to log in from this station." I recall from a previous life that the solution is to modify a registry key (EnablePlainTextPassword or some such), but I can't remember where the key resides, what the appropriate values are, etc. Any help appreciated...

Hi, We have been experiencing problems where workstations (Win2K SP3, latest updates) have their registry setting for EnablePlainTextPassword set to 0 after reboot. We have Samba 2.27 and a pilot of Samba 3.0 Could it be one of MSs sercurity updates ? Has anyone seen this before ? Any input would be welcome ! Thanks, Laurent Biron Motorola.

I have a question about Win98 and Samba. Is there a registry fix similar to the WinNT plaintext passwd that needs to be performed? Win95, and WinNT can see Linux via Netbios, but the same machine, running Win98 cannot see the Linux box. I am running the most current version of Samba. The WinNT box can see the 98 machine fine. Does anyone have any experience with this? Please let me know if

...ble "clear text passwords"): 1) Launch Registry Editor 2) Double Click on: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE 3) Locate /HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/VxD/VNETSUP 4) From the menu bar select Edit/New/DWORD Value 5) Rename the entry from "New Value #1" to: EnablePlainTextPassword 6) Press Enter, then double click on the new entry. A dialog box will pop up and enable you to set a value. Set this value to 1. 7) You MUST reboot to enable this change. For Windows NT 4.0 AFTER Service Pack 3: 1) Launch Registry Editor (REGEDT32.EXE) 2) Double Click on: HKEY_LOCA...

we are using samba Version 1.9.18p8 and want to connect WIN-NT 3.5.1 to Samba- supportet Unix-Drives; but for any reason the password for this connection is always needed (we did the registry for enableplaintextpassword); the same connection is done well on WIN95 could you figure out, what our problem is??? thank you Klaus-Dieter Wurm (dieter.wurm@de.origini-it.com)

...icate from clients (winnt4) to DigitalUnix3.2c with Samba anymore. Before the upgrade it worked fine. After the upgrade, my password is rejected. It's really a authentication problem because it works fine if I add "guest ok = yes". On the server I have: security = share On the client: EnablePlainTextPassword = 1 What's the matter ??? _________________________________________________________ ÊTES-VOUS YAHOO!?

Hello, I'm a new subscriber and hope I don't break any rules. We have just bought some new PC's pre-installed with Windows 2000. On our previous installations (NT and 95/98) we applied the EnablePlainTextPassword registry patch to allow our PCs to communicate with our Unix server and other systems - no problem. Is there a similar patch for Windows 2000? We can't communicate, and I assumed that the same patch would work (the NT version anyway). But the same key doesn't exist in my Windows 2000 reg...

We are using SAMBA 2.2.4 to support a large community of Windows users. The latest deployment of PC's come with Windows XP, and we need to disable Password Encryption on those to use SAMBA. We need help in locating the "EnablePlainTextPassword" key. Thanks in advance Jaime A Cifuentes

I have an old Samba network that uses unencrypted passwords. At the time, the posts were running win95. These days they are running win98 for the most part, but introducing new machines onto the network means fiddling with the EnablePlainTextPassword registry key. So currently, all the machines use plain-text passwords. I want to modify them all to use encrypted passwords. Naturally, I want to do this as easily (i.e., over a period of time) as possible. I thought the [update encrypted] setting would help me, but obviously I have misunderstood...

...ei der Installation von Samba. Nach meinem Daf?rhalten funktioniert es. Der Zugriff von Win95 Clients ist problemlos m?glich. Ebenso war der Zugriff von einem NT-Rechner m?glich, nachdem ich in der Registry im Verzeichnis HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Rdr\Parameters das DWORD EnablePlainTextPassword mit dem Wert 1 angelegt hatte. Der NT Rechner ist eliminiert und durch einen Win98 Rechner ersetzt worden. Vermutlich ist beim 98-iger Rechner dasselbe Problem wie beim NT-Rechner (?bertragung des verschl?sselten Passwortes). Es gibt aber in der registry nicht dasselbe Verzeichnis. Kann mir vielle...

...e unencrypted passwords because Windows 95 doesn't support them, so we currently have clients with Windows 95 and clients with Windows NT 4.0 (with Service Pack installed), on which we have modified the Registry as: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Rdr\Parameters key name: EnablePlainTextPassword value: 1 Now it seems that Windows 98 won't support (as a default setting) the unencrypted passwords, so every time we try to connect to Samba the connection is refused because the password is wrong. Do you know if it would be possible to edit Windows 98 Registry to overcome this problem and...

Hi. Have FreeBSD and Samba 2.05a with lots of Win95 rev 2 clients. With the EnablePlainTextPassword=1 registry setting on the Win95 boxes I my students have been logging in fine. We now have a few Win98 boxes I'd like to connect, but I can't log in - I get refused at the IPC$ share. I can log in if I use rhosts, however I don't want to do this for security reasons. The key is in...

I have a mixed network of Win95, Win98 and Unix machines. I am using Samba very happily. I would like to add a Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 client machine to the network, but don't know how to turn off the password encryption. I am currently editing the registry on the Win98 machines. If someone can tell me how to edit the NT 4.0 and Win2000 registry I would appreciate it. Thanks, Dan

For those of you that have had/are having problems getting Win 98 clients to correctly authenticate, I have identified a stumbling block which I had to deal with. Specifically, EnablePlainTextPassword *must* be a DWORD value. In following the instructions found here, http://us1.samba.org/listproc/samba/October1998/0321.html and on the Microtheft web site, I installed the ptxt_on.inf file from the Win 98 CD. This created a Registry Entry that was binary rather than DWORD. Using regedit, manually...

...a problem. I've installed on a SuSE Linux 7.0 the Samba version 2.2.4. Now if i trie to join the domain with a win2k pc I get an error message back saying that the username and/or password I supplied does not match the ones Samba has got. On the win2k machine I have set the registry entry "enableplaintextpassword" and also in the smb.conf file I have set "nt acl support=no". If I go trough network neighbourhood I can access every share without problems. In the smbpasswd I have also add the user root but it still not work. With win95 machines I do not have any problems. I would appreciate any...

...oes not happen with Windows 98. The username an password gets pushed through. What can I change in my Samba configuration to have this work for my Windows NT/2000 users so they do not have to enter a username and password for each mapping. I want it to look like the Win98 systems. I do have "EnablePlainTextPassWord" set to 1 on both Win98 and Win2000 PC's. Thanks in advance.

I have a handful of machines with all of the latest windows updates, and the WinXP reghack wont stay. If I enter the EnablePlainTextPassword reghack, and reboot, all is fine, until the machine is logged off or rebooted, then it reverts back to EnablePlainTextPassword=no Seems to be only affected on machines using Novell 4.83.6 SP1 client... although something else could be the cause. Machines with Novell 4.83.6 (no SP1) seem to work ok...

I cannot seem to find the plain password patch for the registry for NT4 or 2000. Is there one patch that works for both? Can you point me to where I can download the patch? Matt Lester AISG Government Systems Network/System's Engineer (407) 581-2929 ext. 218

...reconnecting O: to \\dev\growrg Microsoft Windows Network : The local device name is already in use. The connection has not been restored. We can fix the problem by removing all mapped drives, reboot and remap. We have to do this every day. I want to fix this problem. In regedit we changed the enableplaintextpassword to the value of 1 to get the connection. I have searched the samba archive and internet with no success . Thank you, -Rich
