[KLUG Members] Samba

[Jon Smitley]

OK.  I think I should probably fight my way through with the encrypted
passwords. And thank you for your responses to this issue. But just to
let you know a few of the things your saying are about 6 feet over my
head. So if you don't mind I'll ask a few questions to you about what
is/isn't happening.  I sent a copy of smb.conf to Stu earlier because he
helped (if not on his own) get Samba running at the last KLUG meeting,
so if he contacts me I'll let you know.

For your info I am using:
	RH 8.0
	Samba 2.2.7
	Webmin 1.030

I don't have a good grasp on all the command line skills, so I use a
GUI.

Basically, Win98 can see to the point that security sets in, whether it
at the user level or the share level.

At user level I get;
	 //Madness/IPC$
Password ______________

At share level I get;
	 //Madness/sharename
Password ___________________

And here I'm stuck.

Thanks for any help in advance.
