Depending upon whether you want to use encrypted passwords, you can set your
samba to use Encrypted Passwords = No and set your Windows 98 registry as
follows:
1. click on: Start -> Run
2. type "regedit" then <ENTER>
3. double click on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
4. locate the following key:
/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/VxD/VNETSUP
5. from the menu bar select Edit -> New -> DWORD Value
6. rename the entry from "New Value #1" to "EnablePlainTextPassword"
7. press <ENTER> then double click on the new entry. You'll be asked to set a
value, nd this should be 1.
8. you guessed it - reboot!
By the way, it's in your Samba documentation - the above points are directly
from it. For my linux (Slackware 3.5), the location is
/usr/doc/samba-1.9****/Win95.txt.
If you're on a home network, the above will more than suffice.
