[Samba] Configuration Issues

[Jason Stewart]

Hi Jay,

I noticed that you are choosing to not encrypt passwords. If you haven't 
set up W2k to send unencrypted passwords to 3rd party SMB servers, you will 
not be able to log in. If this is the case, In your local security settings 
dialog box security settings section, enable this option to turn off 
encryption.

I would advise against all of this and just set encrypt passwords = yes, 
then add the user to the smbpasswd file.


Cheers,
Jason
