Authenticaion of NT users to their Unix user space via Samba.

[Paul Kenneth Egell-Johnsen]

I'm sorry to burst in this door, I've read the faq, I've searched the
samba.org site, and I don't know what to do, even now.

The problem is this, I have a network with SGI computers whoose shared
drives some NT workstations are accessing. This have worked fine until
now. After acquiring two new NT workstations, it seems that I can't get
them to access the shared drives.

As far as I can ascertain it is because of the password/username
supplied by the new (ie. Service Pack 4) versions of the OS is
encrypted, while the old way was unencrypted. Where do I change this to
encryptet (or rather unencrypted) on the NT box? I can't find any
answers pertaining to that. But a couple of unanswered questions to that
same effect, seems to lurk in the archives.

Confounding my problem is that this fscked OS is translated to
Norwegian, so the error message which I get could be one which is
mentioned in the faq, but then again, it might not. User friendly?
Probably. Admin friendly? No way.

And one more thing, I'm on Samba way old. I think 1. something. I'd
rather not touch this for a while, as I have more pressing matters than
upgrading samba. (After all, the guys and gals in marketing have reached
those drives until now, except for the new ones, so why would I?)

Please have mercy on me, poor sinner, who has trodden wrong and needs a
guiding hand to find the path again.
