Problem with Samba: "The account is not authorized to login from this

[Levent Gündogdu]

Hi Ashvin!

Either use smbpasswd -a [username] [password] to add an encrypted password
to the smbpasswd-file and use encrypted passwords = yes in the smb.conf or
just use NT4_PlainTextPassword.reg, which resides in the docs directory
of the samba distribution.

Let me know if it helped.

Bye, Levent
