Window 98 clients to access Zentyal file server

Windows 98 uses the username and password at the logon window in order to login into the Samba server of Zentyal. In this case, win98 password has to be same as the Samba password of the user.

However, the window98 clients access to Samba servers will fail. The symptoms look like need password for IPC$.

Whether you put any password in the box but you also get the "No permission to access resource" message box as below.

In this case, we just simply put the following three lines in the [global] section of /etc/samba/smb.conf:

lanman auth = Yes
client lanman auth = Yes
client plaintext auth = Yes

Noted: These setting will gone when samba module restart. It needed to apply those changes in /usr/share/ebox/stubs/samba/smb.conf.mas to make them stick.
