Hello all ...

I have had many helpful replies to this post - thank you all! The key to
the problem was that Microsoft has NT4.0 SP3 set up by default to use
encrypted passws NT4.0 SP3 set up by default to use
encrypted passwords. From the samba documentation file ENCRYPTION.txt:
"WinNT doesn't like talking to a server that isn't using SMB
encrypted passwords. It will refuse to browse the server if
the server is also in user level security mode. It will insist
on promting the user for the password on each connection, which
is very annoying. The only things you can do to stop this is to
use SMB encryption."
To solve this problem I did the following:
-> Downloaded samba-1.9.18p7-50.1.i386.rpm from ftp://samba.anu.edu.au. This
build has the necessary password encryption compiled in, which my release
(RedHat 5.0 - Hurricane) did not. Installed new samba.
-> Settings of /etc/smb.conf which are related to this issue:
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd
-> Created /etc/smbpasswd file using:
cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh > etc/smbpasswd cat /etc/passwd |
mksmbpasswd.sh > etc/smbpasswd
chmod 600 /etc/smbpasswd
chmod 4555 /usr/bin/smbpasswd
-> Created passwords for all users by repetitive
smbpasswd <username>
for each user. Ugh! Unfortunately, the docs say there is no way to
get from Unix password hash to SMB password hash.
After all that, my shares work nicely ... until the next time Micro$oft
decides to throw a wrench in the works!
Once again, thanks for all the help!
