Problems with passwords on Windows...

[William Peloquin]

Hello,

I am having a problem getting SAMBA to run on a QNX system, (I grabbed the binaries
directly from QNX), with a Windows 95 Client. The Windows boxes normally run on a
Novell network. If I set security to SHARE, I am able to get into my /tmp directory.
If security is USER, I cannot get to /tmp. I am unable to get to my home directories
in either case. I have no problem accessing any directories when using smbclient on
QNX.

I have read about Windows sending all uppercase passwords, and I thought that the
"password level = 20" would take care of that. Guess it must be something else. I also
saw a mention that Windows will send over an encrypted password. I don't know how
to handle that issue. 

It seems like a password issue to me. I think I set everything up correctly. I am
attaching some config and log files... This really should be a FAQ based on the
number of "kinda similar" problems I am finding by searching the digests. I guess when
I get it to work, I'll write a damn web page devoted to it!

TIA
