encrypted passwords should be the default- no reason to turn that off.

Thanks for the reply !
I can try those commands on Monday -- long Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
I do not have admin on the Sun box, but my tech lead does.
The link says to turn off password encryption. I cannot do that. The
network people (government run network) will not allow that.
The samba machine is set for encrypted passwords.

My guess is that they may have required NTLMv2 or something thing

You can use gpedit.msc on XP to check your security settings.
"smbd -v" would tell you the samba version.
"testparm -v | more " would let you check the various settings.
Are you the sys admin for the solaris box?

I do not know what version of samba is running
For the last year and a half, I have made a daily connection from a
Windows XP box with the following command:
new use G: \\server\volume /USER:userid password
This makes a "G" network drive that serves the purpose.
About a month ago, network folks upstream from us spewed a bunch of
policy updates that caused serious trouble. The worst being mine.
Now, if I try the same command on an XP box, the command executes
successfully, the G-drive appears and then blinks to say
"Disconnected Network Drive"
Because some of our team use them, I tried from a Windows 2000 box.
The same command responds with :
System Error 1240 has occurred. The account is not authorized to
log in from this station"
I checked the smb.conf file and found that the samba server is
configured for encrypted passwords. This error makes no sense.
The local network folks are convinced this is a Unix problem.
Any clues out there for this clueless one ?
