Trying to share files between an xp pro box and this slack 9.1. Someone told me to use Samba. I was following tutorials and they say to configure Samba in smb.conf. Is /etc/samba/smb.conf-sample supposed to be it or what?

You have to uncomment some lines from /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/services (contains word "swat") and restart networking.
does anybody now how to tell win xp to send the password in clear text for use with samba in user mode?
And why the hell win xp won`t allow me to enter an specific user name?
