Hi all, You really need to be using encrypted passwords for all Windows clients. IIRC there used to be a patch (regedit script) for Win 95 and Win 98 clients to ensure they were using encrypted passwords. It should be somewhere on samba.org but you can google for it. Check in your smb.conf file that you have this entry: encrypt passwords = yes

AFAIK, Win 98 uses cleartext passwords while XP (only?) uses encrypted. Your samba server might be using cleartext passwords and the XP clients are not accepting these. Also your old samba version might be a lot older than ubuntu's.

The server replaces a samba server that has worked well for years. I used the config file (slightly moded) from the old server to the new. Windows 98 machines logon fine. Windows XP Pro clients had problems with the machine accounts. So I deleted a machine account to try and rejoin to find if this fixes the problem and "not authorised". I then remembered Ubuntu locks the root pwd. I've always used teh samba docs and used root-samba-root-user-pwd to join machine accounts. Clearly Ubuntu does something in the config to get around this. THe web site didn'g get me far. Urls' or assistance appreciated.
