Using encrypted pwd with Samba and Win9x

[AstroDroid]

I have a samba server setup and I can access it from my win2k and xp machines, however my older 9x machines are not working.

I am using encrypted passwords for Samba. I read somewhere that you have to configure win9x to send encrypted passwords. How do you do that?

By default, all MS operating systems starting at Windows 95B use encrypted passwords. Only the very first version of Windows 95 didn't.
Unless you are using Windows 95A, as it is usually referred to, or your other Win9x machines have already been altered, encrypted passwords shouldn't be the problem.

What kind of problems are you having when connecting with the Win9x machines?

I actually figured it out. I didn't add the smbuser that was logged in to the 9x machine. Once I ran smbadduser unixid:9xid and added a password the login worked correctly.
