I quite new to all this stuff still
I've got Slackware 8.1 running on a AMD k6-2 400 machine
It's my server and I just installed samba so i can browse the directories of my 20 GB hdd installed. Store files as back up and what not.
I got the package off the samba site, samba-2.2.7-i386-1.tgz
using pkgtool i installed and and configured it
I can do smbclient -L Nemesis (slackmachine) and get a list of shares
I can also so smbclient -L Matrix (WINXP Machine) and get a list of it's share
However, i set the smb.conf to
encryption = yes
when I try and browse in winxp, i see the folder, but it prompts me for log and password, but of which i don't have and i tried creating using
smbpasswd (both as root and as use account) both times it failed saying i can't modify as root and when i tried as my user (flea) i get the error:
Quote:
machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was : RAP86: The specified password is invalid.
Failed to change password for flea

I read the page on encryption, (I linked it all on to my server for easy reading without visiting too many pages)
http://flea.ods.org/samba-2.2.7/docs...NCRYPTION.html
but when i search for a mksmbpasswd.sh I don't have such a file,
I do have a smbpasswd but it's are jargon and not in the proper format as said
Will the guru's please help a n00b?
