[linux-help] Re: smb.conf

[Nathan <ncozzens@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I found a web site talking which pretty much hits the 
nail on the 
head. 
http://www.netspace.net.au/~bmiller/linux/NT-SAMBA-prob 
lem.html  For now I used the option of making Win98 
send unencrypted passwords over the network.  That 
fixed the problem.
Thanks!

Eventually I figure out how to make Samba and Win98 
talk encrypted to one another.  DIAGNOSIS.txt says 
that the problem may stem from the use of Shadow 
passwords.  That's all I could find on that though.
