Have the same problem with Samba on Suse 8.2 at our office and Suse 9.1 at our client's office. Adding SECURITY = SHARE in smb.conf allows all the XP clients to see the Samba share but none of the Win 98 clients. Since those Win 98 clients can currently see the Samba shares on an older Sun Solaris box I'm assuming I didn't set something necessary in smb.conf for Suse. Any suggestions? jcp

Password encryption. Win98 does not encrypt passwords by default. AFAIK, all later versions of Windows encrypt by default. HTH, Jeffrey -- Vote early and often. Apathy only encourages the bums.
Thank Jeffrey. We have a Windows 98 registry program that when installed gets rid of the login window when selecting the Samba share with the other server. I believe it deals with the encryption difference. However, these Win 98 workstations do not even 'find' the samba share to click on when 'finding' the ip address of the Samba server. Before adding the SECURITY change, the XP's didn't 'find' the server. Now they are OK but the Win 98's are not. If I'm misunderstanding this, please correct me. jcp On Tuesday 19 October 2004 12:19, Jeffrey L. Taylor wrote:
