Hi everyone. Anyone know how to delete the windoze passwords that one can log onto the 7.3 Samba network and start again? Like the bit where it says 'you have never logged onto this computer before please type your password again', with the same password? Seems to be an important and undocumented one in being able to drop files from the Linux server to the clients. Please be specific if you can. We are not used to w98.

I not positive exactly what you're asking, but to delete the Win98 password, just delete the entry in System.ini for the password file (xxx.pwl [xxx=username]) and delete that pwl file in the Windows directory. If you are wanting to change their samba password, I'd suggest using swat, i.e going to htttp://127.0.0.1:901 in a browser, entering root as the user and the root password, then click on the password icon, there you can enter the user you are changing, their old password, then enter the new password. (BTW, the remote machine here is localhost, not the Windows machine they are logged in on- I just had to do this yesterday so it is fresh in my memory :-) ).
