Presumeably the smb daemon is running on your server. It helps to use the same pw on the MSW side as the samba side (yields an auto-login to samba), but it's not necessary, as samba will prompt for the pw if needed. Samba keeps it's own pw file called smbpasswd. Each user who wants samba access must have an entry in that file. Depending on what smb version you're using, it may be a multi-step process. The process was a bit awkward with older smb versions, as it was necessary to manually add the user entry in the smbpasswd file. With current versions, one simply needs to run the utility smbadduser. It will prompt for the user name and pw. > Someone sent me a W98 registry hack to make w98 use none encrypted just as > an experiment. That didn't connect either.

See the samba docs for more info; it is pretty well covered there. Look for a file called passwords.txt ---------------------------------------------------------------- John Karns [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Stuff, things, and much much more. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
