[ale] First Use of Samba

[andy]

I don't have this problem but I setup Win95 and Win98 clients.
Here is what I did:-
1-Added this to the registry of the windows machines:-
      [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP]
      "EnablePlainTextPassword"=dword:00000001

2-Typical install of RH51

3-/etc/smb.conf - I uncommented the printer section and one other share
  and changed the name of the share  Thats it!

I did not touch anything else in /etc/smb.conf or anywhere on the system
for that matter, and had no problems logging in from the Windows machines..
