encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd -----Original Message----- From: Don Zajic [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2003 8:17 AM To: 'Kees Damen'; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Samba] Phasing out windows I must disagree with you. Samba does handle encrypted passwords. I have been using that feature for at least two years if not longer. I have had WinNT, Win2K and WinXP clients authenticated by my samba server for a long time. The Win2K systems are pretty straight forward, the WinXP clients do need a patch to the security, but that is easy to apply.

Samba can't process an encrypted password and hands it over to a Windows 2000 server for verification. If you don't have them any more than you must patch the registry in every client to give a non encrypted password to the Samba server. And the clients, Win 2k & XP, doesn't like that and give a login screen every time it wants to connect to a Samba share. If you have Win 98 clients than you don't have these problems. > The company I ma working for us willing to phase out it's windows > servers.
