I think if  'encrypt passwords = Yes' is specified in global section 
another password file other than /etc/passwd should be provided for 
authentication into samba. Did you do that before all your clients 
begin to talk to Samba?/<FontFamily><param>Symbol</param>

Your problem seems to lie in the Global section of your smb.conf file. I

have samba working well for Win95, WinNT and Windows 2000 clients using the

following global settings:


[global]

        workgroup = XXX

        netbios name = XXXX

        interfaces = eth0

        encrypt passwords = Yes

        keepalive = 30

        os level = 65

        kernel oplocks = No

        hosts allow = xxx.xxx.x.     <<-- insert your subnet here eg:

192.100.200.

        level2 oplocks = Yes


These settings ensure that the samba server will be the Workgroup Master

Browser

Subject: [ILUG] Why NT can't explore samba?



It works with a windows95 client. but when I click the icon of the linux

box in network neighborhood from a NT server, it pops up a windows

that says wrong password or unknown username.  I tried put in the

username and password as specified in the smb.conf file it tells me the

username is not allowed on the linux machine. but the username does

work for all windows95 clients. Could anyone tell me what's wrong

with this NT client?

here is my smb.conf file:


# Samba config file created using SWAT

# from 192.100.200.101 (192.100.200.101)

# Date: 2000/06/07 11:36:35


# Global parameters

	workgroup = IS

	interfaces = 192.100.200.103/24


[root]

	comment = admin's share

	path = /

	valid users = root daniel supervisor

	read only = No

	create mask = 0765


[webpage]

	comment = share for admin

	path = /home/httpd/html

	valid users = root daniel supervisor gentian christine

	read only = No

	create mask = 0765


[ac]

	comment = share for accounting

	path = /home/httpd/html/ac

	valid users = root daniel supervisor gentian christine

	read only = No

	create mask = 0765


[public]

	comment = public stuff

	path = /

	guest ok = Yes
