Ok, so what do you mean i need to change in the conf?
When i try to change the encrypt passwords setting to No, it doesn't work
with xp/2k.


Hi,

DOS client and win95 client send password in clear text password, XP, w2k,
win98 sent encrypted password.

This is incorrect.  All modern clients (including DOS) can send the Lanman
form of the encrypted password, and we will always accept a plaintext password
from the truly ancient clients.

What 'encrypt passwords = yes' does is allow modern clients to use encrypted
passwords - which must exist in an smbpasswd file.  In particular, XP, Win2k,
Win98 will all *refuse* to send a plaintext password, leaving you no other
option.
