I have set up a samba box on my NT network but whenever the samba box makes
a request for authentication to the Primary Domain controller the PDC
acknowledges the username but rejects the password.
When I use NT administration tools on the samba server I get the message
"The network request is not supported".
In smb.conf I have added the line
encrypt passwords = yes
security = server
password server = NTPDC
What am I doing wrong?  Someone said something to me about using a .reg file
that came with Samba.
