Authentication only on NT Boxes not accepted

[Stefan Thom]

Hi myself,

I found the solution of my problem reviewing the logs again:
It seems to be that the samba client uses "NT LANMAN 1.0" as protocol and the NT Client "NT LM 0.12" which seems to have some problems. I switched the
protocol in the smb.conf File from "protocol=NT1" to "protocol=LANMAN1" and - et voila - the domain login works!! But not with long Filenames....
Finally I switched "protocol=LANMAN2" and now everything is fine! Domain login works and Long Filenames are present!

Great! I love Samba!!

Regards Stefan
