Re: SAMBA + WindowsME

[Steve Wingate <srwingat@gte.net>]

Check the hosts allow section to make sure you're allowing the local subnet 
to connect to Samba. The smb.conf file (at least with FreeBSD) is so well 
commented you almost can't get it wrong. Take the time to read it thoroughly.
Everybody says to disable password encryption on Windows but I think that's 
wrong. Windows is insecure enough as it is. Enable encrypted passwords on 
Samba. You'll have to keep your passwords synced manually but it's one less 
security hole to worry about.
