2.0.6 Problem

[Robert F. Thomas]

That is exciting news, since it is totally undocumented that SAMBA 2.0.3 on
OpenVMS supports encrypted passwords.

Could you please explain how we can utilize this capability in v2.0.3?

Sincerely,

Sorry, this is incorrect.

1. 2.0.3 allowed encrypted passwds, and you have to do things explicitely
to allow them in 2.0.3, 2.0.6, or indeed, any version of Samba.

2. You only get that message if the user has authenticated and tries to do
a TCON or a TCONX. Thus, they have clearly authenticated.

Use the source, Luke :-)
