when we configure windows client for SAMBA server,
does any changes is done in window registry,

if yes then what it is.

You shouldn't have to make any registry changes. If your windows clients are 98 or newer you'll need to add the encrypt passwords = yes option under global.
good luck.

client is win98,

Does win98 automatically makes any changes in registry while configuring SAMBA client ?

No, it shouldn't. Are you reading something about registry changes? You shouldn't have to mess with the registry at all. Here is some info on configuring the windows clients.

good luck.

I am not reading any things regarding registry changes,
i just asked it becz someone else asked this to me.

And why it shouldn't ?

Why would it? The link in post #4 should be all the info you need to configure the client.
good luck.

I don't quite understand the question or it's origin. What is this concern with the registry? Is the individual in question having a problem with the machine? What is the connection between the registry and a samba client? The only remotely possible application I can think of is modifying the registry to not encrypt passwords which is not very secure, and the smb.conf provides for encrypted passwords as stated above. With that said you'll have to explain further, I simply don't see the connection.
good luck.
