Samba w/ win98 and RHL 8.0


I've gotten to the point where I have Samba up and running and I can go and put in my TCP/IP under run in Win 98. It pulls up the Enter network password box and I put in my password and it won't take. It does not ask for a username--only a password. I tried putting in "EnablePlainTextPassword" and put in the value of 0x00000001 (1). I put it in as a DWORD. Did I do it right? If there is anyone out there would can help, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You really should use encrypted passwords, even on a home network. In your smb.conf set encrypt passwords = yes and smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd . Then, undo what you were trying to do to get Windows to send plain-text passwords.

Then, did you use smbpasswd to add the username to the Samba password file? smbpasswd -a username . Replace the username with the correct user name, and it will prompt you for the user's password. Unless the username is in the smbpasswd file, it won't be able to match it when you enter it from a Windows box.
