[cobalt-users] Samba and Windows Millennium



====================
SAMBA AND WINDOWS ME
====================

For security reasons, Windows Me no longer allows you to send 
plain-text passwords; it sends only encrypted passwords. However, 
Samba servers require plain-text passwords, so you cannot connect 
to Samba servers unless you change a registry entry to enable 
plain-text passwords.

To enable plain-text passwords, add the registry entry 
EnablePlainTextPassword (reg Dword) 1 in the following registry 
location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\Vnetsup
