I recently added a Red Hat 9 machine to my Windows 2000 (Active Directory) domain. Samba is working properly as I can connect to a Samba share from a Windows 2000 machine, and I can connect to a Windows 2000 share from the Red Hat machine. My question is, even though I have the password encryption enabled in Samba, when I connect to a Windows 2000 Machine from the Red Hat box, it Says: "You must login to access smb//:"WindowsMachine". Your password will be transmitted unencrypted." How do I force Samba to encrypt the passwords that it sends to Windows 2000? In the above scenario, it accepts the password and lets me connect to the share, but I don't want clear text passwords sent across the wire. (It does not prompt me for a password when I connect to the Red Hat machine from a Windows 2000 machine). I have created the same user account in both the Windows Domain and and on the Red Hat box. I also added that account as a Samba user. For now, the Windows password, Linux password and the Samba password, for that user account, are the same. The Samba server is configured for Domain Authentication with my Windows 2000 domain controller as the Authentication Server. Encrypt passwords is set to Yes. It was configured using the Gnome graphical utility. I am just learning Linux and any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance. WRBullard
