I still haven't got complete functionality out of Samba, but I have got something workable so It has become a lower priority. Let me know how you get on.
Around here in the Red Book there is some advice http://publib-b.boulder.ibm.com/Redbooks.nsf/RedbookAbstracts/SG246004.html?Open and here http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/esdd/tutorials/samba/samba-2-11.html (page 11 of 12) There is tutorial 1 and 4 as well. Samba Shares http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/samba3.html One Samba problem with W98 and after. the client is sending encrypted passwords instead of plaintext passwords. You can remedy this situation by performing two steps on the Samba server. First, add the following entry to the [global] section of your Samba configuration file: encrypt password=yes. Second, find the smbpasswd program on the samba server (it is located in /usr/local/samba/bin by default) and use it to add an entry to Samba's encrypted password database. For example, to add user steve to Samba's encrypted password database, type smbpasswd -a steve. The first time you enter this password, the program will output an error message indicating that the password database does not exist; it will then create the database, which is typically stored in /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd Samba FAQ with how-to Urls in it http://de.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/htmldocs/samba-pdc-faq.html#AEN12 -- From one of the Linux desktops of Dr Adrian Midgley http://www.defoam.net/ -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
