<PRE> Robert, This is what I did to get rid of the infamous IPC$ message box: 1) Read the file encryption.txt that comes with the Samba source. 2) Run mksmbpasswd.sh according to the instructions on encryption.txt. 3) You may need to create a samba password for each user running smbpasswd as root. 4) Ask each user to run smbpasswd and modify the password to be the same as the one he/she uses in W98. 5) Put encrypt passwords = yes in smb.conf 6) Stop and start Samba. 7) Hopefully it will work. I use shadow passwords, Windows 95 OSR2, Samba1.9.18 Good luck. Paulo Abreu

I can not get my Win98 clients to work with Samba 2.0.2. I compiled from source and set samba to use encrypted passwords. All I get is a window asking for $IPC password. Please help!
