Ok. If you got an error running smbclient to your own box.... check to see if
you did it properly? smbclient -L hostname -U username? And try your password.
If you did this properly... from linux to samba... and it failed. Odds are you
have encrypted passwords enabled in /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf?
This is a guess of mine.. or you do not have security = user but ... you seem to
have that setup. Or... it was not a valid user?
Ok... assuming you can get yourself connected to samba... you can enable
encrypted passwords, which I do suggest, both ways are insecure but if this
network you are describing has relatively good security and is more LAN than
WAN, having encrypted passwords is not such a bad thing. You should read the
/samba-1.9.1.8p4/docs/ENCRYPTION.TXT. run the cat /etc/passwd |
./mksambapass.sh or what not... there is a line in the .txt file. After you run
that though, you should run ./smbpasswd <username> for each user. I could NOT
find a way around this at all. I do not think the /./mksambapasswd successfully
ports the unix hashed passwords since the unix hashed passwords cannot be
converted to the smb hashed passwords. (sorry for the bad terminology.. heheh).
So in essense, the "smb password" will be different from their telnet login
password.
Once again, double check the linux smbclient to linux samba. If you cannot do
that successfully, I cannot imagine you getting the Win 95 logging in
successfully before your own linux smbclient to samba.

Ah.. a registry add on. That is what I meant... "plain text" passwords is the
right terminology, I believe, I did not know it was a registry key fix. :)
