smb-clients Digest, Vol 20, Issue 3

[Jeremy Villalobos]

I had a similar problem when I first set up samba.  What I did was 
enable plaintextpasswords on windows.  A tutorial on how to do this can 
be found using Google.  This is not a secure fix however, and I never 
found out how to do it the right way.
