Was trying to retrace my steps and do some trouble-shooting, and got to samba. Googling a bit I found this page: http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/linux/manual4/samba.html And this little piece of information; "For windows 2000 and XP: Disable Domain member: Digitally encrypt or sign secure channel data Disable Domain member: Digitally sign secure channel data (when possible)" As I understand it, this implies that samba does seem to need clear text passwords. Unfortunately I can't, or actually am not allowed, to use the more lax security setting in Windows, as per instrucations from the university IT-department. As far as I can see, this kinda' puts an end to using BPC for backing up Windows-machines. Or...? -- /Sorin
