Hi, I am a new member of this list and I couldn't find and message to 
help me in the Samba archives.
We're migrating from a FreeBSD 4.0 server with Samba2 to a FreeBSD 5.3 
server with Samba 3.0.12_1,1.
These too servers are  on the same network, but workgoups are different 
(old server is DESQ-Samba and the new one is NDESQ).
Our network have Windows 95, 98, NT, 2k and XP!
This old server uses the master.passwd to authenticate users, I tried to 
do the same with the new one, but I couldn't get a passwd backend (plain 
text) to do this, so I moved to smbpasswd backend and now everything 
works fine, except for Windows 9X and NT - users cannot login to any share.
Theres is no firewall in the new server (yet). I am attaching my 
smb.conf file to your apreciattion.
If there is a reason to ignore this problem, considering the old server 
will go down when the new one gets 100% fine, please, tell me.

best regards!
Juliano
