PROBLEMS connecting to SAMBA

[Herb Lewis]

You didn't specify the error you got but I will assume it was
access denied. You have not specified encrypted passwords in
your smb.conf and I guess you are using one of the later versions
of windows clients that require encrypted passwords. See the 
file ENCRYPTION.TXT in the samba docs directory for information
on applying the appropriate registry fix to the client or
setting up samba to use encrypted passwords.
