Samba with NT

[Doug Winterburn]

'98 and NT use encrypted passwords, '95 does not - therefore, in your
smb.conf file:

encrypt passwords = Yes
security = user

Also:

man smbpasswd

will tell you how to create your smb passwords.

I've got mixed Linux and NT and 95 boxen and haven't had a problem since
I
learned how to seutp the smb.conf file correctly.  I can connect from
any
one to any other too.  I've even got a bounce share.  NT connecting to a
smb
share that is connected to another NT share.  Make sure you double check
all
your permissions!

>I have the same problem. I have a NT and 95 box. the 95 can connect and see
the shares just
fine but NT doesn't see it. Since it's not a big problem I haven't
bothered
to dig into it.
