Not sure about your Windows version, but if you use NT or 2000 you need to update its registry to use plaintext passwords. Setting 'encrypted passwords=no' in smb.conf is not enough. The necessary registry files (for NT4 and 2000) are available as part of the Samba distribution. -- Nimrod. http://www.geocities.com/rodd_27 ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
