Hello,
I have been successfully connecting OS/2 Warp 4 to a Redhat RHEL5 Linux/Samba server for years. Now I find that I must allow access to a Windows Vista client which appears to require encrypted passwords. When I do this, OS/2 gets and access denied message when trying to make a logon. As far as I know, I can switch my samba configuration to be either encrypted or not, but not both.
Any suggestions on how to connect both Vista and OS2/2 at the same time?

I have found a solution to the encryption dilemma. Although I had originally wanted to get OS/2 to use encryption, I have found that I can get samba to recognize both.
Within the smb.conf file I placed:
encrypt passwords = yes
include = /etc/samba/smb.%a #%a = OS (for OS/2 %a="OS/2")
The first line makes the default "yes", the 2nd includes a file called "smb.OS2".
This file has a single line: "encrypt passwords = yes"
This is an acceptable solution for me. However, if there a way to get OS2 to encrypt, I am interested.
