Hmmm....[puts on thinking cap to fill in the lack of
details provided...]
I'm guessing you need to do one of two things
o if using clear text passwords, then enable
plain text on the Win98 client (see Win98_PlainPassword.reg
included in the Samba course). You may also need to set
a password level value (see smb.conf(5) for more information
on this.
o enable 'encrypt passwords = yes' on the Samba host
and read docs/textdocs/ENCRYPTION.txt for more details
If neither of these work, then give me some more details
and I will responsd as much as time allows.

[not directed at Carl in any way. I've just seen (and responded)
to so many of these types of posts lately it seems]
Why do people feel that posts like this will solicit
more help? Sadly enough they invariably do, and we seem
to be re-inforcing this
Cheers, jerry
