[Samba] Win95 on a Samba3+LDAP domain on a Debian box

[Kevin Brouelette]

Hello,
Just a thought...
Doesn't Win95 require 'encrypt passwords = no' and Win98 and higher require 
'yes'??
I recall from Samba 2.x that you had to choose one or the other. Maybe Samba 
3.x is different[??]
Corrections welcome.
Kevin
