Here is another problem plagueing our company.

In windows 95 we have our network setup to go to Network Neighborhood,
then go to our AIX box and go to my home directory. i.e. /u/jhancock
and be able to pull files from the RS/6000 to Windows 95 PC. If the PC
has been upgraded to Windows 98, it requires a password to get in, but
doesn't accept the unix password, essential nullifying this feature.

Thanks,

What software do you use to share your datas ? Samba or NFS

First you can check you unix passwd is not longer than 8 characters(
mandatory for samba)

Windows 98 sends encrypted passwords, unlike Windows 95 AFAIK. You can
find a solution on this link:

Good luck.

Win98 by default uses encrypted passwords - you can turn off this feature
using a registry key. Win95 did not use this feature until Rev C (OSR 2.5), I
believe.
Look in the Samba directory on the AIX box for ENCRYPTION.TXT for more
details.

If you need encryption, then you need to set up an Windows MD5-encrypted
password on your AIX box.

I know there is somewhere in the windows registry that you can get Win98 to
use the appropriate password configuration for your aix passward. I believe
i read it in the Samba documentation..
