I can't give you the answer right off hand but I believe it is a registry
setting in 98 regarding using encrypted passwords. I remember seeing it in
a win98 book but I never wrote it down and now I forget where it is! Sorry
I can't be more specific.
ops found it!
This increment changes Samba from "plain text" passwords to "encrypted"
passwords. Before Service Release 2, Windows defaulted to plain text
passwords. In SR2 and beyond, it defaulted to encrypted, thus clashing
with Samba's default. We can fix the problem by re-defaulting Windows to
plain text, or we can set up Samba to use encrypted. The latter is better,
since only one machine needs modification. However, in certain cases
changing Samba to accept encrypted passwords requires re-compilation of
the Kernal. Since that action is clearly beyond the scope of this
tutorial, if this increment doesn't work we'll walk you through a Windows
registry change to re-enable plain text passwords
Add encrypt passwords = yes and password level = 20 to the [global]
section of /etc/smb.conf as shown below, and save.
