Topic: Windows 98 login and sme

[ansentry]

I am running sme 6.01-01 custom.

I am connecting with both XP pro and win2k to the sme (domain controller), the login script works fine, connects to correct drives for groups etc.

Now I have just tried to connect a win98 pc to the domain, the normal small black screen flashes on the destop and the dialog box re NT scrip executing all appear, BUT no drives are connected. If use the same user name and password on a XP Pro or win2K machine works fine.

I have no trouble with 5.1 - 5.6 using win98.

Any suggestions, would be appreciated.

Could you post the login script?

Check the access rights on your netlogon.bat file

Guest,

I have checked the mode on the netlogon.bat file

it is 0644.

I have not changed any of the setting on the file, It works fine with XP Pro and W2K.

Win98 does not appear to find the netlogon.bat, because if I put a "pause" at the bottom of the script, the others (XP & W2K) will pause, but not win98.

Any help would be appreciated.

any luck to date?
I believe it has to do with Line Terminations (\n\r perhaps) but I haven't figured it out myself

pkidd,

Yes I got it working fine, I forgot to run the regedit program that sme 6.x comes with.

/home/e-smith/files/server-resources/regedit

in there you will find the regedit program for both win98 and xp pro.

This is the first time that I have had to connect a win98 machine to sme 6.x.

All my other sme6x the users have win2k or xp pro.

on standard the samba-server (domain-login and file-shares) is set to use encrypted passwords.
winXP and win2000 use them as standard, too.
win98 uses not-encrypted (plain-text) passwords for default. the registry-modification that comes with SME changes this setting to use encrypted passwords.

that's the trick.

cheers
