more samba problems

[Kirk Wood]

Ok, there are several issues. The first is that on each share point if you
will need to set browseable=yes if you want that directory to show up in
the window.

Second I hope you have looked at SMB-HOWTO file. It gaves the two lines
you need for encrypted passwords. It also refers you to two other files in
the smaba docs to read. The first is ENCRYPTION.txt and also
WinNT.txt. (Notice the capitalization on those.)

You may also need to look at the other samba docs on www.samba.org. I did
notice though that you should actually try \\server\share to establish
your initial connection.

Finally, disabling enypted passwords will have negligable effect on your
machine. The only effect would be if you are connecting via SMB to other
machines on the internet. You should have firewall software installed on
your Windows machine (beyond the macroslop stuff). At a minimum you should
go into the IP security settings. Your unencrypted password will only be
sent to the internal network side.

Personally I would recomend using the Linux box on the gateway. Then use
ipchains to exclude inbound connectins for the net unless you specifically
want them for some reason.

Nothing is hard if you know the answer or are used to doing it.
