Editing registry - send plain Passwords to SMB mount.

[stla]

I was accessing a SAMBA mount with global Password Encryption OFF.

I there edited the registry on the WIN2000 like this:

1) Rrun regedt32.exe and locate the hive key entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkStation\Parameters.

2) Add a new DWORD value: Value Name: EnablePlainTextPassword Data: 0x01

I have now enabled Password encryption under the Samba globals to ON and re-edited the registry to a 0.

The problem is it is still refusing to mount the share; I don't believe it is sending the password encrypted.

Does anyone know a workaround?

Best regards
