I've read a few howtos- http://www.linux.org/help/ldp/howto/SMB-HOWTO-6.html http://eunuchs.org/linux/samba/index.html http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/SMB-HOWTO-6.html http://www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf/intel/network/samba/samba2.html http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/tips/Samba-Tips/Samba-Tips.html#toc3 OK. So I've tried researching as much as I can- I run a laptop and a workstation (as well as a few other machines running seti@home on the inside). The laptop is win95a and the workstation is win98SE. I'd like to use encrypted passwords as I will be attempting to use the nbfw code ( http://malt-whisky.student.utwente.nl/nbfw/ ) from New York while looking for housing. All I can see is the netlogin from the laptop, and not from the workstation. I do not have any options to add the secure passwords for win95. SO- I can't get anything to work. netlogon is the only share i can get to on browsing. But only on the laptop, even after I required encrypted passwords (- but it doesn't work on the win98). information: samba-2.0.6-19991110.i386.rpm was just installed smb.conf #======================= Global Settings ===================================== [global] # workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name workgroup = STARTREK # server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field server string = Hill-b-040 Server # This option is important for security.
