by Hi,
At home I have a Linux PC and a Windows PC. I have SAMBA 1.9.18p8 running
under Linux 2.0.34 sharing out files to my Win 95 PC. Certain file shares
had username and password protection with the standard "security = share"
in smb.conf. Everything has worked fine for a very long time.
Until today when I upgraded to Windows 98. The networking between the two
PC's is fine and working normally. I can access SAMBA shares that do not
use a password properly. When I try to access a password'ed SAMBA share,
it now asks me for the password (Win 95 already had the correct password
saved) and then when I enter the proper password for the file share, Win
98 and/or SAMBA reports the password as incorrect.
So does anyone have any explination and fix to this apparent Win 98 &
SAMBA password problem? I have tried changing passwords on the Linux box,
this didn't fix it. I tried deleting my *.pwl files under Win 98 and this
did not help either. I am positive that Win 98 is reporting the proper
username to SAMBA but the password is just not being accepted properly.
Perhaps Microsoft changed the password encryption protocol since Win 95?
Any suggestions and information are very welcome and will be much
appreciated.
Thank you,
