similar to: Unencrypted/encrypted passwords when connecting from Linux to Win98

All - Client: Win98, first version Server: Linux Mandrake, Samba 2.0.7 I'm trying to setup a Samba server to replace a customer's evil Windows 98 server, and have run into a problem. When used with encrypted passwords, it doesn't work. I tried all of the usual cures, and found that it worked perfectly if I enabled plaintext passwords in Win98. When I switched back to encrypted

My LAN is running Samba v1.9.18p10 under RedHat Linux v5.2. Using the SMB services are Win95 and OS/2 clients. It's all running fine. I will soon be adding Win98, though, and I understand that there is a question of password encryption. I'm concerned how the encrypted/plain-text communication of password will affect my existing configuration. If I reconfigure Samba to use encrypted

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 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

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

Hi, we have following situation: I migrated our company mailserver from POP3 only to dovecot with IMAP and POP. We need to have unencrypted POP3 from our internal network, and the subnet our mailserver is in. Additionally, we now want to allow encrypted IMAP from the internet (for some defined accounts), preferably with TLS (which means I open Port 143 in our firewall). Now, how can I

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

There have been several postings about this phenomenon and we too fell into it when we introduced Win98 clients onto the network. Somewhere on the web I found the answer: By default Win98 sends passwords to a server encrypted, and by default SAMBA compiles with encrypted passwords switched off. Therefore the password one types in from a Win98 client is received by SAMBA in an encrypted form.

If samba isn't authenticating win98 clients, esp. if you get a password request for IPC$, try editing the win98 registry. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSup and add a new DWORD entry. Name it EnablePlainTextPassword and set it to 1. The capitalization of VNETSup may be different but the rest is exactly as I found it on my system. After a reboot of the

Hey all first post, I recently set up an Apple Xserve running Mac OS X server v. 10.2.4 as a SMB file server for a network of mixed win2k, win98, and Mac (classic) boxes (samba version 2.2.3). I currently have Open Directory setup to pull Active Directory users and groups via ldap from the PDC, as well as SMB pass through authentication (so winbindd is not needed). Everything is currently up

Folks, please help... I got Samba 2.0.5a running fine on a RH6.1 system and a Win98 client. I have applied the Win98 registry thing to enable plain text passwords, and smb.conf has a "encrypt passwords = no" in it. It works. I have also enabled domain logons and a small login script, and that works too. I sniffed the network and saw the passwords in clear text during the login process.

Here's the problem: I have a server that I have been using for over a year as a modem server, file server and print server. It's running Redhat 5.0 and Samba 1.9.18p5. Let's call this server server 1. Now I'm trying to set up a second server for a friend. This one has Redhat 5.1 and Samba 1.9.18p7. I have successfully set this server up as a modem server. Let's call this one

Hi, Is there a way to make windows2000, xp and 2003 work with unencrypted passwords as a domain member in a domain with a Samba Server as PDC?

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.

Hi, I am using dovecot 2.3.16, along with postfix and a PostgreSQL database for managing virtual accounts. I'd like to start using the mail-crypt plugin. However, I'm having a bit some difficulty understanding the documentation at https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/mail_crypt_plugin to reach my goal. I plan to ask questions about those issues by starting new threads in this

I've reviewed and successfully tested everything from ping up to logging in locally with : smbclient //server/share Now begins the problems: #1 If I turn Encrypted Passwords the preceding command fails. #2 On the Win98 client the command (tested with encrypted passwords on and off with same results) nbtstat -a MyLinuxServerName returns a full list of info about my Linux host. Going the

Hello, yesterday I've changed my password system to encrypted password because somebody wanted to log in with win98 notebook. And I wanted not to make the change in registry of the notebook. Therefore I set encrypted password = Yes, added and enabled the user with smbpasswd -a -e <account>. After this change he can log in via dhcp in our network. But in the next morning I've

I've got Samba 2.0.6 set up for domain logons, and they kinda work. However, about 2 out of 3 times it doesn't work on the first try. Almost always, my log on succeeds if I continue trying, usually 2-5 more times. The workstation is Windows 98. I can't roll this out to my clients until I can get this to work every time, on the first try. I've looked through the list archives, and

I can not get a laptop to running Win98 to mount samba shares on a Linux box, and I don't think it's the normal encrypted password problem.
