Re: [PLUG] SAMBA and windoze boxes...

[Anthony Locascio <thanous@dca.net>]

um I know this reply is a little late... :)  Sorry I have midterms and a 
thousand other things to do...

BUT...

Did you try enabling plain text passwords on your windoze machines? 
That is what sounds like is the problem to me... I can fish up the 
plain text password reg edit... but its only a few lines then a reboot 
of course.  

I run a few networks that require me to access samba shares... and 9 
times out of 10 the plain text passwords is the problem.  Why winblows 
does it is beyond me....  but it sounds like everything else in your 
configuration is fine... minus that.  

I can even send you the reg edit if you want.... or direct you to a site 
that has a more detailed explanation of why this occurs.

Regards

Anthony
