fixing samba for nt 4.0 and win 98

documation reference for me.

All versions of Windows NT prior to 4.0 Service Pack 3 could negotiate plain text (clear text) passwords. Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3 changed this default behaviour so it now will only handle encrypted passwords. The following registry entry change will re-enable clear text password
handling:

Run regedt32.exe and locate the hive key entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\CurrentControlSet\Services\Rdr\Parameters
Add the following value:
EnablePlainTextPassword:REG_DWORD=1

If you want WIN95 to work with unencrypted passwords, you have to change

the registry as with NT. However it is a different key to change :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP
Add a new DWORD value named EnablePlainTextPassword and give it a value of 1. That's it.
Solution 1: Making a change to the registry on every affected
Windows machine

For Win-95/98:

Start "regedit" from a command window, then select the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP
Choose "Edit->New->DWORD value", create the entry

EnablePlainTextPassword

and choose "Edit->Modify" to set it to 1. Then reboot the machine.
