Windows 95 does not use encrypted passwords. I believe that the samba
configuration on FC3, 4, 5, and 6 default to having password encryption
enabled. Try digging into your /etc/samba/smb.conf file and make sure
you have
encrypt passwords = no
set. Then restart Samba ("service smb restart") and try it again.
For the record, the following Windows systems do NOT use encrypted
passwords:
Windows for Workgroups (Windows 3.11)
Windows 95 (without SMB update)
Windows NT 3.x
Windows NT 4.0 (before SP3)
All others use encrypted passwords.
