Some of -these are welcomed while others cause us to change the way we do things. Few -people like change, particularly if the change is unexpected. The best advice -always is to read the documentation provided BEFORE applying an update. - -One of the recent Win95 updates (VRDRUPD.EXE) disables plain text (also called -clear text) password authentication. The effects of this updates are desirable -where MS Windows NT is providing the password authentication service. This -update is most undesirable where Samba must provide the authentication service -unless Samba has been specifically configured to use encrypted passwords _AND_ -has been linked with the libdes library. - -If the above conditions have not been complied with, and you are using Samba, -then Windows 95 clients will NOT be able to authenticate to a Samba server. - -To re-enable plain text password capabilities AFTER applying this update -you must create a new value in the Windows 95 registry. - -Either foillow the following procedure or just double click on the -file Win95_PlainPassword.reg for an easier way to do this. - -Procedure: -1) Launch the Registry Editor as follows: - Click on: /Start/Run - Type "regedit" and press enter. - -2) Double click on: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - -3) Locate the following Key: - /HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/VxD/VNETSUP - -4) From the menu bar select Edit/New/DWORD Value - -5) Rename the entry from "New Value #1" to: - EnablePlainTextPassword - -6) Press Enter, then double click on the new entry. - A dialog box will pop up and enable you to set a value. - You must set this value to 1. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -Windows 95 Updates: -------------------- -When using Windows 95 OEM SR2 the following updates are recommended where Samba -is being used. Please NOTE that the above change will affect you once these -updates have been installed. - -There are more updates than the ones mentioned here.
