how about /usr/doc/samba-* ?
NT SP3 and Win96 OSR2 and up do not attempt plain logons by default
(instead they try ONLY encrypted passwords). Samba won't handle those yet
for some reasons, so you need to make tiny changes to the registry of each
for it to work (in NT must be administrator to perform change)
specifically, copy two files to a floppy (as they are supplied on the
server which you currently can't access)
/usr/doc/samba-1.9.18p1/docs/*.reg (on my system, RH)
just double clicking the right file for the platform (one is 95, other NT)
will integrate the change into the registry for you.
if you don't have those files, here they are:
NT4_PlainPassword.reg :
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Rdr\Parameters]
"EnablePlainTextPassword"=dword:00000001
Win95_PlainPassword.reg :
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP]
"EnablePlainTextPassword"=dword:00000001
if you do a lot of workstation additions, the floppy is an awkward way to
keep them, I simply put it on a shared drive of some win95 machine
(NT/95/98 can see it before the registry patch above)
good luck.
