from years ago when I was setting this up and before samba supported encrypted auth, the registry change on the windows machines was to let the windows redirector send passwords *in* clear text as anything after win95b would only send encrypted auth info. If you setup the samba server to deal w/ encrypted passwords, you shouldn't need to change anything on the windows machines..
I do see one snippet about an XP machine in a domain: REGEDIT4 ; ; This registry key (gathered from the Samba-tng lists) is needed ; for a Windows XP client to join and logon to a Samba domain HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\netlogon\parameters "RequireSignOrSeal"=dword:00000000 hth, Dave On Wed, 25 Sep 2002 12:09:40 -0700 "Scott R." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Roman Neuhauser wrote: > > > > > > i have samba serving files and a printer to several XP, one NT4 (or > > is it 5?), and one w98 box. samba is configured to require encrypted > > passwords, all the boxes work fine in this respect (you have to > > patch the registry for various reasons in various versions of > > windows, but this is not a problem) > > I seem to recall that I did have to patch the registry the first time I > got this to work, however, I can't seem to find any documentation that > tells me how this is done.
