Samba for VMS

[Michael D. Ober]

You will need to turn off encrypted passwords on your clients.  They are on
by default in NT4 SP3, Win98, WinME, W2K, and XP.  There should be registry
edit files in the samba distribution for Win95 and WinNT.  95, 98, and ME
all use the Win95 file and NT, 2K, and XP use the NT file.  You need to have
administrative privs to do this.

Also, the only version of Samba VMS that properly supports Windows 2000 and
XP is 2.2.4, which can be downloaded from
<http://www.pi-net.dyndns.org/anonymous/jyc/>.  Encrypted passwords are
supported in this version, so you can leave them on.

I have downloaded the Samba binaries for OpenVMS and have followed the
 instructions in the readme.vms file.   Currently the NMBD process is
running.
All I need is to be able to copy a file from my PC to the
 \\hostsamba\share drive, however I have not been able to do this.    I
have a very simple smb.conf  file using security server.    Does anyone
have experience with Samba
on VMS?

OS version:                                        OpenVMS (TM) Alpha
Operating System, Version V7.3
Samba version downloaded:      SAMBA V1.9.17p4-VMS2



Thanks in advance :-}
