Mapping a drive from Windows 2000

[pjewoods]

How do you map a network drive from Windows 2000 to a SCO UNIX system without getting the 'Account is not authorised to log on from this workstation' error?

How are you exporting the drive from SCO? <p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>--<br>

The easiest way to access files from a SCO file system is NFS. I have not tried any of the Windows Client versions that runs on a local PC, but I run the Novell version on my server. This not only allows you to mount the SCO file system to a Novell volume or directory but also allows you to print to Novell print queues and manage user access.<br><br>HTH<br>Ken

I was able to map the shared SCO directories in Windows NT4 by typing in the EnablePlainTextPassword script into the appropriate registry place.<br><br>However, this place does not exist in Windows 2000, so I am a bit lost.<br><br>The problem is that Windows NT and 2000 encrypt all of its passwords but UNIX only accepts Plain Text Passwords. The problem is solved by switching on Plain Text Passwords in NT but I do not know how to do this in Windows 2000.<br><br>Thanks.

Apparently you can't do this in Windows 2000.&nbsp;&nbsp;The cynics out there have said that Plain Text Passwords have disabled to foil the efforts of the Samba team.&nbsp;&nbsp;Microsoft will tell you it's a security thing.&nbsp;&nbsp;All I've got to say is a quote cribbed from a recent article about this year's Usenix:&nbsp;&nbsp;&quot;We've got everything - from Microsoft to security&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp;So, guess which point of view I favour?<br><br>Sorry to be of no help in solving your problem, but I don't think it can be solved in Windows 2K.&nbsp;&nbsp;Well, that is, give the Samba guys a little time, and maybe there will be an answer... <p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>--<br>
