cif/9000 server

I installed cif/9000 from the application CD dated september2000 on hpux11.I was able to see the samba server on the network neighborhood but im not able to connect to the unix drive from win98 .
i got password incorrect when i supply the password to the connection share \\HPOV\IPC$ .
what do i have to do in smb.conf or win98 to make it work & testparm log is attached for reference .

any help is highly appreciated .
TIA

Re: cif/9000 server

Sharif,

If you set "encrypt passwords" to "No", then you have to add a key to the registry to tell Win98 to use plain text passwords. Otherwise it won't work. The exact instructions can be found in the Samba documentation. I think the doc is called something like "ENCRYPTION.txt".

Hope this helps.

Re: cif/9000 server

In my configuration file i have set "encrypt passwords = yes " after the reading of the Samba documentation (ENCRYPTION.txt, Win95.txt, WinNT.txt).
Pls read the documentation indicated upon.

Re: cif/9000 server

Hi,

The registry key file actually comes together with the CIFS package,

/opt/samba/docs/Win98_PlainPassword.reg

if you wonder why a registry key patch is required, take a look at the following document,

/opt/samba/docs/textdocs/Win95.txt

Rgds,
