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

...and recompile SAMBA, and there are notes about this at the SAMBA website. Or one can switch off the encryption on the Win98 client by editing the registry. We have tried the latter and it works. Run regedit. Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\Vnetsup Install the file ptxt_on.inf found in the tools\mtsutil directory of the Win98 CD. It's a short file so I reproduce it here: ; Decrypt.INF ; Copyright (c) 1993-1995 Microsoft Corporation [version] signature="$CHICAGO$" [DefaultInstall] AddReg=Enable.Plaintext [Enable.Plaintext] HKLM,System\CurrentControl...

i'm looking for an answer to the problem WIN98/samba-connection. It shows the same failure as shown by WinNT unless the change of Registry to EnablePlainPasswd. Is there an answer where the entry "EnablePlainPasswd" should be by WIN98? Enable encryoptedPasswd in smb.conf brought no solution. Thanks an many greetings Lothar M?hlbauer Lothar.Muehlbauer@iiv.de

...o 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 configure the key as DWORD with a value of 1 for Plain Text passwords. Hope this helps someone (as I was left to my own - but I'm not bitter). ... Al Hubble ----Original Mes...

...ENIX site that contained this email link. I'm currently facing an issue which I'm hoping you can be of help. Our network employs Samba as our File and Print server and is enabled for Plain Text Passwords. This works fine with PCs running on Win9x and ME with the installation of the "ptxt_on.inf" file. However, with the advent of the Windows XP and 2000 systems, I'm having a hard time hooking up our network printers to these XP/2000 clients. Can I have your inputs so I can roll this off?
