Thank you Andrew for your swift answer.
How could I have non-encrypted password exchange between my server and one of my clients (because this seems to me the problem right now)?
Best,
Tygre

It seems to me that, because the client on the NeXTstation only deals with unencrypted passwords, the server is unable to verify the username/password. I tried using the directive "encrypt passwords = no", but then neither the Amiga nor the NeXTstation can connect, with the error: "FAILED with error NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE".
