Unfortunately Windows clients (here at Seneca) insist on passwords being sent in plain text. For this reason Matrix SMB is set to use plain text passwords. To change Fedora to use plain text passwords switch to root and edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf file and immediately after the [global] section header insert these two lines:#**client plaintext auth = yes#**client lanman auth = yes#*Create a new account on Fedora with the same name as your LEARN acount. Set the password to 'seneca99'.#*Logout of joker and login to Fedora using your LEARN namevm01.#*Now try the following:#*From the "Places" menu at the top of your screen, select "Network" and wait until the network scan completes. **Then click on the "Windows Network" and then click the "File" menu and select "Connect to Server", change the service type to "Windows Share" and input matrix.senecac.on.ca for the server, > Select your username for the ShareName and UserName fields.
