I am trying to access Samba shares on with a win nt machine. The FreeBSD machine shows up in the network neighborhood of the win nt machine. But, when I try to access the share on the FreeBSD machine, I get "invalid password or incorrect user name for: \\Don". "Don" is the win nt machine. I have set win nt to use plain text passwords. The username was set using smbpasswd. I haven't been able to get SWAT to work in spite of entering the correct lines in /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/services. My smb.conf file looks like this: [global] encrypt passwords = yes workgroup = shit [test] comment = for testing only read only = no guest ok = yes ------------------------------- Can you give me a hint as to what I'm doing wrong?
