Joan is a system administrator who administrators a network of NT and Linux servers.
Joan is attempting to use Samba to allow the Linux systems to communicate with NT.
Joan has Samba setup but user level security is not working properly. Which of the
following is the most likely problem?
A.
Samba expects in encrypted passwords whereas Windows NT sends passwords in
clear-key after service pack 3.0
B.
Samba is not completely installed, user level security is the final element in the
installation routine.
C.
Samba does not accommodate user level security.
D.
Samba expects clear text passwords whereas Windows NT sends encrypted
passwords.
Explanation:
Windows NT sends passwords as encrypted. Samba uses clear text.
Windows NT has to be modified by changing a registry entry to change it to
transmit passwords in the clear.
Incorrect Answers:
A: This is the reverse, Windows NT is the one encrypting the password.
B: This problem will occur anyway, the Windows NT system has to be changed to passthe
passwords in the clear.
C: Samba does support user level security, so this is not the problem.
