You have to decide which authentication mechanism to use, and make sure it's
consistent on both sides. Sounds like you'll need to enable encryption on the
samba side as well. Try this:
1. Uncomment the following from /etc/smb.conf:
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd
2. Generate your smbpasswd file:
# cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh > /etc/smbpasswd
# smbpasswd user
where `user' is the name of the user that will be accessing the Linux box from
windows.
3. Restart samba:
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart
I'm not sure that this is the fix, but I'm pretty sure. You also might want to
add "debug level = 3" to the top of your /etc/smb.conf which will give you a
little more information to troubleshoot with.
