similar to: migrating to encrypted passwords

I'm writing because I had a problem with Samba, while installing it on some of our computers with Windows 98 (beta 3). We have an internal network not accessible from the outside, in which we use the sending in the clear (I.E. not encrypted) of the access passwords to Samba running on a Sun machine with Unix Solaris OS. We use unencrypted passwords because Windows 95 doesn't support

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

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,

Hi All Some background first I have been asked to set up an environment involving three machines 1. A windows 2000 client 2. A Solaris 8 E450 / NIS client 3. An SGI IRIX fileserver/ NIS server holding user home directories The E450 NFS mounts the SGI and users have their home directories on the SGI. When users want to test their application software they ssh from their windows client into

Does anyone Know the procedure for Windows 2000 workstation, in order to not encrypt passwords. What I needed is something similar to the transcription I make below that works for windows nt4 and 98. Thank's Emanuel Duarte (Portugal) ********************************** This should take care of the "clear text password" problemsyou've encountered: For Win 98 (To enable

Hello, I'd be very grateful if anyone could share their ideas on this problem. The situation is this: I have a Solaris 8 machine running Samba 2.2.1a. The global configuration has "security = USER" and originally had "encrypt passwords = NO". I was able to map drives to shares on this machine from my WinNT 4 SP 5 workstation when I set the registry key advised by the

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

Hello All, I am using Linux6.0(running samba) as a file server on my network, everything is good when I configure samba authenticate on other machine such as WinNT4.0. But when I have configured samba authenticate on itself (security = user) I received message error "smbd/password.c:pass_check_smb(506) Account for user 'david' was disabled". In this mode I created

Our network is primarily Windows NT including a FreeBSD 2.2.5 server running a FreeBSD port of Samba 2.0.3. When I try to connect to the FreeBSD machine from my Windows NT workstation I get the following errors: using "net view \\NS1" Access denied. using "net use * \\NS1\tmp /user:hjohnson" and then entering my password The account is not authorized to login from this

I am running redhat 7.3 with Samba 2.2.4. I was wondering if there was a way to use Samba to resolve my IPs instead of having to add all the entries to my /etc/hosts file? For instance, I would like to be able to do `ping acormany` instead of `ping <IP Address>`. We are currently using WINS on a Windows box to resolve the IPs. As of right now, I can `ping acormany` on a Windows system, but

Hi, I'm looking for some help to migrate from plain text to encrypted passwords. I'm using smbpasswd for authentication on a FreeBSD 4.9 server with samba 2.2.8. When we set up our server, we had Win95 clients with plain text passwords. As we introduced Win98 clients, we just kept with the plain text passwords. Now we are looking at XP clients and enctrypted passwords. My understanding

I am running RedHat8, samba 2.2.7 The mailing list archives seem to pin the 2gb problem on several unrelated issues (all of which i explored). The machines in question have no problems creating 2+gb files locally and via NFS. Is this an issue with smbfs? smbmount? anyone have a workaround? -- 'As we enjoy great Advantages from the Inventions of others we should be glad of an Opportunity

Hi, after having upgraded from 2.0.0beta2 to 2.0.0 there are happening strange things: 1) After startup of smbd I find the following message in log.smb smbd version 2.0.0 started.

Everything is working perfect on win95 but from NT4: I can create, delete and rename files I can create and delete directories Problem: I can't rename created directories from the NT4 workstations on the network. And this is a big problem since NT4 creates a "New Folder" and asks you to type in the name you want. I have a 2.0.6 distribution on a SGI Origin200 Irix6.4 server. I

Hi, I have an issue in dos printing. My okidata dot matrix printer is directly connected to linux box and is a shared printer in samba . I am using lprng. My problem is with dos printing. When i print, it spools first indicated in the windows printer window. It takes a minute before it actually sends to the linux box, you will see an indicator of spooled bytes. Once it is submitted it prints

Hello, I have a trouble. In my network i use PDC server on windows NT 4.0 server. And i have FreeBSD which is a router in my company.

Is there anyway to ascertain what shares a client actually has mounted at a given time? I've got a number of WFW boxes connecting shared drives on my SCO-OSE3 box using SAMBA 1.9.16p5 (upgrading to latest version RSN). I've got some shell scripts on the Unix box which use escape sequences sent to the client telnet to start programs on the client side. Some of these programs assume

I am trying to move our network from windows NT-2k to Samba /Linux. So far everything is great but there is one main obstacle; when I apply permissions to a Samba share via my W2K workstation, the permissions instantly disappear. This happens regardless of the owner / creator of file or the user / group permission I attempt to add. I have run 2.2.7, 2.2.8, and now 3.0 beta3. All three behave

I had originally written about this problem last month (http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/samba/2002-November/085418.html) Since then, our company has added another Windows Fileserver which I'm trying to back up, and they are both having the problem. Because it happens on both servers, this leads me to believe it really is a problem with my Samba server. I've upgraded to 2.2.7a, as the
