Our samba server is running Solaris 9 and Samba 3.0.2.a . For reasons *outside the scope of this question* we are using plaintext passwords and authenticating via our NFS server. (I know this isn't a great idea, but that's not the question)
With Panther, plaintext passwords worked fine. Snooping, I see the plain text password and username go through. With Tiger, we first had to apply this small fix to the client to enable plain text passwords: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301580 Once this was done, snooping an smbclient connection, I see the plain text password and the username but they are null-padded. Authentication works. But when Tiger attempts to mount an smb share via the GUI, I see the password NOT null-padded and the username PADDED, and this fails. Can anyone comment on this? I realize that the sane thing to do is switch to encrypted passwords, but if we don't want to do that right now for whatever reason, are there any other suggestions? Has anyone else seen this behavior? Am I correct in calling this a Tiger bug? thanks Betsy -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
