SMB LM/NT Password did not match!

[Larry James]

     When I was having the problem it seemed that my Windows 98 machine
was not set as the same domain and workgroup as the Samba PDC.  I'm not
sure if the workgroup matters so much, but I believe the domain option
for your Windows machine is a must to be the same.
     I don't know how to set this in WinNT but in Win98 you go into
network properties and set the properties of the Client for Microsoft
Network for the appropriate domain.
