plain text paswords-Linux running samba

[Daniel]

Our network uses a samba server with plain text passwords. How can
set XP to send passwords in plain text so I can authenticate off of a
linux server running samba?

 

[Doug Knox MS-MVP]

Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkStation\Param
eters

Look in the right pane for EnablePlainTextPassword It needs to be set to 1
to enable plain text passwords. If it isn't, double click it and change it.
If it doesn't exist, right click in a blank area of the right pane and
select New, DWord value and name it EnablePlainTextPassword. Then change it
to 1.

A better solution is to configure Samba on the Linux server to use encrypted
passwords.

Option in the Samba Config usually found in /etc or in /etc/samba
