Has anyone successfully incorporated a Win95 app that uses FlexLM license manager on a Samba file system. I would be extremely interested in talking with you as we are trying to install Parametric Technology's ProEngineer on our Samba file server. We do have a copy of the Unix version of the license manager, but I am not sure how I can get the Win95 client to talk to it. Any and all

I am wanting to share some license data files from a Win95 box out across a Samba controlled domain, where a Linux/Samba server is the PDC. I have enabled file sharing on the Win95 box and enabled sharing of the particular directory.

Do you have to enable encrypted passwords for smbpasswd to work? I have yet to enable encryption because I wanted to test everything first, but have enabled 'update encrypted = Yes' so that this will update the smbpasswd file. I also have 'unix password sync = Yes'. However, I cannot get smbpasswd to change the passwords, either by user or root. Any suggestions? Carey

Is there a tool, either for Perl or C, that will add/change the NT and LM encrypted passwords in the smbpasswd file? I know about the smbpasswd command, but I can't use that function from a script. I tried #!/bin/perl system("smbpasswd \< $oldpassword\n$newpassword\n$newpassword\n"); and some other things, but I couldn't get it to work. TSD
