The following transcript may be of help in finding
what's wrong.

Hi,
I have samba installed on my Linux system (Red Hat
7.2), and
Windows 98 on another PC as a Samba client. Samba
works great
if PlainTextPassword is enabled. However, if
PlainTextPassword is
disabled on Windows client, connection to the Samba
shares no
longer accepted.
I believe I've done everything in order to make
encrypt passwd working:
* I converted /etc/passwd to /etc/samba/smbpasswd
using mksmbpasswd.sh
script.
cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh >
smbpasswd
This resulted in a new smbpasswd file:
-rw------- 1 root root
4202 May 21 12:06 smbpasswd
I feel a little uncomfortable about the file
permission, there I change the
mode to 0644 (-rw-r--r--).
* Here is my /etc/samba/smb.conf file
[global]
workgroup = MYGROUP
security = USER
log file = /var/log/samba-log.%m
lock dir = /var/lock/samba
encrypt passwords = Yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
[homes]
comment = Home Directory
read only = No
create mask = 0750
browseable = No
[tmp]
comment = Temporary file space
path = /tmp
read only = No
Note that the smb.conf file works in the
PlainTextPasswd mode before
the two parameters was added:
encrypt passwords = Yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
* I restarted Samba daemon
/etc/init.d/smb restart
* I followed the test steps as outlined in
diagnosis.txt by Andrew Tridgell
But every attempt to connect to the smb server got
denyed:
[root@star samba]# smbclient -L star
added interface ip=192.168.1.1 bcast=192.168.1.255
nmask=255.255.255.0
Password:
session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password
- name/password pair in a
Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.)
[root@star samba]#
I suspect my Samba binary doesn't acctually support
encrypt passwd, but how can I
tell if it is or not?
Thanks in advance.
