[Samba] Re: Win98 client passwords w/Samba 2.2.3a

[pshook]

Brian,

    I can't help you with your problem, but maybe you can help me with mine.

I am running the same version of Samba that you are and I can't get past the encrypted passwords. I've told Samba
to use encrypted passwords and tried turning it off in windows. Neither way works. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Parrish

Hello folks,
            I am running Samba 2.2.3a, on a RedHat 7.2 server. So far =
everything seems to be working fine. I can access shares, print from =
Windows clients, but I cannot change the password from the Win98 client. =
When I try, Windows tells me that the old password is incorrect. Here's my =
smb.conf file

Anyone have any guesses why the password change wouldn't work?=20
