> Problem: Citrix Terminal Server intermittently won't connect to unix
> home directory via Samba. It asks for a password and won't accept the
> password.
> We are using Samba release 2.0.6 11 with Solaris 2.6 on a Sun Ultra.
>
> We are also using MetaFrame 1.8 on a Windows Terminal Server 4.0 SP5
>
> We are using Tektronix WinDD NIS Support version 3.5, so people
> can log onto the Terminal Server Automatically from their Sun
> machines with their unix logon & password
>
> We have an intermittent problem when a user logs onto the Terminal
> Server via the Sun and it won't allow them to connect (using net use)
> to their mounted unix home directory.
> Once this starts to happen,we have to kill and start the smbd -D &
> nmbd -D processes to allow all users when logging on to connect to
> their unix home directory.
>
> We made than the following adjustment which seemed to fix things for a
> while:-
> Run regedt32.exe and locate the hive key entry:
> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\CurrentControlSet\Services\Rdr\Parameters\
>
> Add the following value:
> EnablePlainTextPassword:REG_DWORD=1
>

> We get the following message in the samba log file when this happens:-
