RE: Samba NT Problem - solved

[Tom Cooper <tom_cooper bigfoot com>]

I took a look at the samba archives on the us samba mirror site, and found
that this is a common problem related to NT using encrypted passwords.
There's a .reg file in the docs directory that will set NT to use
unencrypted passwords.
I appllied that, and now my NT machine can see my local hosts.

Cool.

Tom Cooper
