Hi there, is it, and how - possible to add an Win2K/XP Client to a Samba-Server (PDC) without encrypted passwords ? We have many of Win9x Clients they connect to the samba-server without using the encrypt passwords = yes parameter in smb.conf. So I want to add a Win2K and XP-Client to the net without changing the smb.conf (encrypt passwords = no). -- SET THE CONTROLS FOR THE HEART OF

Samba Gurus, I've got a Solaris box running samba 2.0.7. A couple of users on Windows XP clients are reporting problems saving files from within MS Word, and Wordpad to the samba share, which of course is a mapped drive. They get an error saying "This is not a valid file name".... These XP boxes do have the reg hacks plainpassword.reg and signorseal.reg installed. The work around

...mported the recommended NT4..reg to the win98 and NT clients and set a logon.bat in the autostart to connect to the server automatically as recommended, too in the WinNT.txt. The logon.bat is something like this: net use //servername/service. I`m asked for a password. Although encryption is set to PlainPasswords in the clients the password is not right. Always the error 86 occurs. Any hints? Is it possible to turn on encryption and serve win95 and win98 clients at the same time?

Hi, the wiki doesn't explain the file format for passwd-file. I want to do a small set of virtual users using flat files. I have my postfix "vmailbox" generated, and working as expected for delivery. I've configured dovecot, put passwd-file for the auth_passdb, and specified a file name. By "passwd like" what is allowed? Where is it document. How unlike passwd

Hi there I have a LAN with a Linux and a Win2k Computer, using DHCP to connect via Cablemodem to the Internet. So, we don't have fix (private-) ip's. We receive them via the DHCP-Server when starting up the Computers. Now i've setted up samba on my linux (Suse 8.0) computer to share some files (Via NetBIOS on Win, i think). With my current configuration i can see all my shares

...from Windows2000 with EnablePlainTextPassword enabled in the registry - from WindowsXP with RequireSignOrSeal disabled but it fails with the error message "session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE" for the same account - with the smbclient of samba 2.x - from WinNT with or without PlainPasswords enabled in the registry I checked the ldap requests with ethereal: in all cases it's the same request and the same response, except that requests from the first group uses unicode encoded and the latter ansi encoded passwords. I'm not sure if the login failure is caused by this differen...

Hi, I'm trying to setup a samba server that will serve linux shares out to users accross the network. I'd like authentication to be done locally, and I want it to authenticate against pam using the already existing local linux user accounts. I am not authenticating domain users, or windows users, and I don't want to use smbpasswd. Is there some way to force samba to

Thanks a million to Wendell Wilson, who offered a solution to the problem we've been seeing regarding saving a document in MS Word. I know we really do need to upgrade to at least 2.2.6, and I am planning it - but this gives us little more breathing room with everything else going on. Once again, appreciate your help! --Gene Original Question: At 04:35 PM 11/14/2002 -0800, I wrote:

Hello people, After a lot of wading through the dovecot documentation (which btw, is excellent !, everything lies under "dovecot/doc/wiki"), I managed to authenticate a couple of accounts. For starters, I want dovecot to work as an imap/imaps box and nothing else. So , I went ahead and created a "passwd" file with two users. One user being my name (spyros) and plaintext

period of time (hours up to weeks sometimes), and then 'certain' pc's would no longer be able to connect to samba, but other pc's would still be working. And the pc's affected are not the same each time. this might be the case if what is REALLY going on is that the pc's that are STILL working never lost their connection to SAMBA/iX, so they already(still) have a working
