Re: GLUG: Samba

[Dr M Braun <braunm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Alan

check the following

1.are your clients wind95 or win98?
in the latter case you will have to use encryption of passwords
see the samba doc!
2. have you defined linux users for each user
3. do the usernames agree between windows and linux?

regards
