[ale] First Use of Samba

[Armsby-Jr, John W]

Nick,

I have gone into the registry of my win95 machine and set it to send clear
text.  The /etc/smbpasswd file now contains my account name and its
associated password.  This matches exactly to the linux account name and
password.  I have uncommented the smb password file =/etc/smbpasswd.  The
encrypt passwords =yes is commented out.

Any ideas?

John
