quick question

Hi Marcus,
It LOOKS like you are using the right registry key, however I believe it is
case sensitive: should be:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkStation\Para
meters]
"EnablePlainTextPassword"=dword:00000001

There is a .reg file in the later distributions of Samba in the
/usr/local/samba/docs directory that you can just copy over to the
appropriate win2k workstation and double click on it to have it applied:
Win2000_PlainPassword.reg is the name.

Also, I believe you have to reboot to have this registry change recognized
by the win2k workstation.

I have applied this to MY win2k workstation, and it does allow me to
communicate with a Samba 2.0.7 server using plaintext passwords...
Hope this helps,
Don

Hello,

My name is Marcus and currently I am unable to map my Windows 2000 computer
to a UNIX server using Samba. On the NT clients it works only if we use the
SambaRegistrykey that allows the NT client to map drives (that registry key
is attached) .  I tried using the registry key in 2000 but that does not
work either.  I there something different that has to happen in order for
Samba to work properly in a 2000 client ?

ps. HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/lanmanworkstation/parameters/

Reg_DWORD enableplaintextpassword is set to 1
