Recent versions of Windows refuse to authenticate using plain-text passwords. Try using password encryption. You should use security = user, and set up accounts on the Linux box with smbadduser (smbpasswd to set the passwords). E.g.: #smbadduser noyes:noyes Adding: noyes to /etc/samba/smbpasswd Added user noyes. ---------------------------------------------------------- ENTER password for noyes New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: Password changed for user noyes. -- Charles R.
