could someone help me out here, I know there is an easy solution.. but I
can't find it.

Here's my set up..

SuSE 7.3 with Samba 2.2.2  ( I unloaded the OS installed 2.2.1a)

my smb.conf   <- simple.. I just wanted to get it working.. then I'll work
on setting it up as a PDC

# Global parameters
[global]
 encrypt passwords = Yes
 log file = /var/log/samba/smaba.log  <-- i am not getting a log file
also..??

[homes]
 read only = No

if I remove the encrypt password or set it to no, then I can connect from
any linux computer with smbclient //computername/username

if i set encrypt password to yes.. then I get the fallowing error..

session setup failed:  ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pari
in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.)

if i try from win2k, i get incorrect password or unknown username

So I assumed that I did not have any encrypted passwords....   so fallowing
the  ...../doc/htmldocs/ENCRPYPTION.html file I tried the fallowing...
----
To generate the smbpasswd file from your /etc/passwd file use the following
command :

$ cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh > /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd
----

My system cant find the mksmbpasswd.sh file anywhere... it should be in
/usr/local/samba/private   but it's not their...

Any help would be greatly appreciated
