Hi.
 
Have FreeBSD and Samba 2.05a with
lots of Win95 rev 2 clients. With the
EnablePlainTextPassword=1 registry 
setting on the Win95 boxes I my students
have been logging in fine.
 
We now have a few Win98 boxes I'd like to
connect, but I can't log in - I get refused
at the IPC$ share. I can log in if I use 
rhosts, however I don't want to do this for
security reasons.
 
The key is in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\
  System\
    CurrentControlSet\
       Services\
         VxD\
           VNETSUP\
 
It's a DWORD value  EnablePlainTextPassword=1
 
Any hints? Both new machines are Win98 rev 1
and I can't say I'm too impressed with this OS.

Eddie.
