RE: Samba on 7.1 not working :(

[Scott Stone <SStone@example.com>]

well, the encrypted password stuff is settable in smb.conf.  all the ones
that I've seen, the default is to NOT encrypt them (that's the default as it
comes when you build from source, anyway, IIRC).  Win98 *does* encrypt
passwords.  it's Win95 that does not.

I have a registry file for Win98 that will make it do non-encrypted, though,
if anyone needs.

Could you explain this in more detail? I though it was the other way around,

Samba by *default* used encrypted passwords which made win98 and NT4/SP3 not

work.
