Password Handling:
|
|
------------------
|
|
Microsoft periodically release updates to all their operating systems. Some of
|
|
these are welcomed while others cause us to change the way we do things. Few
|
|
people like change, particularly if the change is unexpected. The best advice
|
|
always is to read the documentation provided BEFORE applying an update.
|
|
|
|
One of the recent Win95 updates (VRDRUPD.EXE) disables plain text (also called
|
|
clear text) password authentication. The effects of this updates are desirable
|
|
where MS Windows NT is providing the password authentication service. This
|
|
update is most undesirable where Samba must provide the authentication service
|
|
unless Samba has been specifically configured to use encrypted passwords _AND_
|
|
has been linked with the libdes library.
|
|
|
|
If the above conditions have not been complied with, and you are using Samba,
|
|
then Windows 95 clients will NOT be able to authenticate to a Samba server.
|
|
|
|
To re-enable plain text password capabilities AFTER applying this update
|
|
you must create a new value in the Windows 95 registry.
|
|
|
|
Either foillow the following procedure or just double click on the
|
|
file Win95_PlainPassword.reg for an easier way to do this.
|
|
|
|
Procedure:
|
|
1) Launch the Registry Editor as follows:
|
|
Click on: /Start/Run
|
|
Type "regedit" and press enter.
|
|
|
|
2) Double click on: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
|
|
|
|
3) Locate the following Key:
|
|
/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/VxD/VNETSUP
|
|
|
|
4) From the menu bar select Edit/New/DWORD Value
|
|
|
|
5) Rename the entry from "New Value #1" to:
|
|
EnablePlainTextPassword
|
|
|
|
6) Press Enter, then double click on the new entry.
|
|
A dialog box will pop up and enable you to set a value.
|
|
You must set this value to 1.

Windows 95 Updates:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
When using Windows 95 OEM SR2 the following updates are recommended where Samba
|
|
is being used. Please NOTE that the above change will affect you once these
|
|
updates have been installed.
|
|
|
|
There are more updates than the ones mentioned here. You are referred to the
|
|
Microsoft Web site for all currently available updates to your specific version
|
|
of Windows 95.
|
|
|
|
Kernel Update: KRNLUPD.EXE
|
|
Ping Fix: PINGUPD.EXE
|
|
RPC Update: RPCRTUPD.EXE
|
|
TCP/IP Update: VIPUPD.EXE
|
|
Redirector Update: VRDRUPD.EXE
|
|
|
|
Also, if using MS OutLook it is desirable to install the OLEUPD.EXE fix. This
|
|
fix may stop your machine from hanging for an extended period when exiting
|
|
OutLook and you may also notice a significant speedup when accessing network
|
|
neighborhood services.
