Hello!

I am a SuSE 5.2 user and would like to compile a newer version of samba cause I need encrypted passwords option for a NT client - I have looked into the makefile of the Samba source and I do not know which options should I uncomment - please help me with this decision.

Thank you in advance

Hello Bostjan, as far as I know no further entries in Sambas Makefile are needed. From "man smb.conf": encrypt passwords (G) This boolean controls whether encrypted passwords will be negotiated with the client. Note that Windows NT 4.0 SP3 and above will by default expect encrypted passwords unless a registry entry is changed. To use encrypted pass­ words in Samba see the file docs/ENCRYPTION.txt. I had a quick look into that article, but it was to complicated for me. ;-( User validation depends also on the way you validate. (i.e. security=server). I suppose you need the additional smbpasswd file if you use security = user/share with NT-clients.
