Hi John,

  A couple of things to check:

1.      MPE passwords must be specified as "userpass,acctpass".
        Even if you don't have a userpassword, put the comma in
        prior to the account password.
2.      If your using a recently patched version of Win95, or the OSR2
        version, you need add a registry entry to enable the use of clear-
        text passwords.  I've placed some instructions on how to do this
        at: http://www.editcorp.com/sambaix/config-misc.html

        Hope this helps!

Regards,

Subject:  [HP3000-L] samba username/passwords

I must be missing something simple here.

I've got Samba/iX 0.7c freshly installed, and the basic stuff like the
public share and an initial print share seem to be working just fine.  But I
can't seem to get any non-public shares to work from my win95 desktop.  I do
have mgr.samba set up with PM capabilities, and I've tried various setups
for [homes] and other specific shares and user.map settings.  With the debug
level high enough I can see that I'm always getting "invalid
username/password" reported by Samba when I try to connect.

Can anybody offer me some clues?
