USE Y: "\\NET-INTER-NET\HOMES"
? "ERROR @ERROR: @SERROR" "after use Y "

and it tells me that the password is incorrect.

I think that Win98 is not passing the password to the Linux server in the environment, and that I need the KIXRPC service to be running on the client.
Is this correct.

I have tried installing the RPC service KXRPC -INSTALL with the dll;s all copied over to the client but the install fails with an NETAPI32.DLL error.

Am I missing something else

Did you try to connect these SAMBA shares without the use of KIX?

I'm asking this because I also had some problems connecting shares. My problem was that Win98 send it's passwords encrypted (the same as NT4 / W2K does). So I had to change something on the Linux server.

code:

---

security = SERVER
encrypt passwords = Yes
password server = Server1

---

I think this is what you want but this requires that you have a windows domain controller.

I think you have to set SECURITY=DOMAIN instead of server, at least for Samba 2.2+

The version of samba I am running is 1.9.x, which doesnt support the DOMAIN model.

Any advice on how to pursue the RPC service problem....Will this give me a cure if I get it to run
