I missed it the first time I looked - you are not using encrypted
passwords. (encrypt passwords = no ) If I remember correctly,
Windows 2k will not use plain text passwords without a registry
patch. So you are going to want to change your Samba config to use
encrypted passwords.

I think there is here a bug. In fact, I was able at the end to have
the shared directory being shared between F7 and Windows2000 (VMware
Server). However, the problem returns after a reboot. Any comments?
