Jason, before you decide to take the hard route and use your NT Server as a
password server and encrypted passwords you may want to look at how easy it
is to set a Win9x/NT box to use plain text passwords. Here is the quick way
to accomplish this:
1) For NT machines, copy the following text into a file and name the file
'plain-text-passwords-nt.reg'
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet\Services\Rdr\Parameters]
"EnablePlainTextPassword"=dword:00000001
2) For Windows 9x machines, copy the following text into a file and name the
file 'plain-text-passwords-9x.reg'
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP]
"EnablePlainTextPassword"=dword:00000001
Simply double-click the appropriate file and reboot the Win9x/NT system and
your done.
As Michael mentions below, if you want to use encrypted passwords and your
NT Server to authenticate your users you will have to create an
/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/smb.conf file. Read the documents listed
below for details.
# You may wish to use password encryption. Please read
# ENCRYPTION.txt, Win95.txt and WinNT.txt in the Samba documentation.
/usr/share/doc/samba-2.0.7/docs/textdocs/ENCRYPTION.txt
/usr/share/doc/samba-2.0.7/docs/textdocs/Win95.txt
/usr/share/doc/samba-2.0.7/docs/textdocs/WinNT.txt

Darrell
