Re: FreeBSD and Windows XP
On Sat, 31 May 2003 23:48:55 +0930 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote I feel bad about not finding this answer myself as I know how to do it with Win XP. My searching skills seem to be rusty. Question: How do I get my new Win XP box to talk to me FreeBSD Server? When I try to map a drive I get : "The account is not authorized to log in from this station." What I think the answer is: I think it's the "Plain Text Password" issue. I've dealt with it before on Win 98 but can't figure out how to configure Win XP to allow a Plain Text Password. I've been searching for a few hours as I know it must be a common issue and the answer is there somewhere. If you can point me in the right direction it would be a great help. Thanks. Nigel Holloway I just went through this with win 2k... control panel -> administrative tools -> local security policy and set "send non-encrypted passwords to third party samba..." to enabled.

If so, here's my samba config file that works with WinXP *and* Win98: (Note: I set up a username called "shared" as the only shared directory.) /usr/local/etc/smb.conf - [global] valid users = shared force user = shared guest account = shared default case = lower case sensitive = no remote announce = 192.168.0.5/YourWindowsWorkgroupName auto services = global default = global dns proxy = no encrypt passwords = no null passwords = yes security = share socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192 max log size = 50 server string = dev netbios name = dev netbios aliases = dev workgroup = YourWindowsWorkgroupName log file = /var/log/samba.log # Share Definitions == [shared] path = /home/shared/ writable = yes force user = shared force group = shared guest account = shared public = yes ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
