From Michael Bishop (MS) - Basically, the issue with Samba and Vista is that Vista no longer permits LM or NTLM authentication by default; only NTLMv2. Samba versions 1.x and 2.x only support LM and NTLM, so there's an issue there. Recommended solution: upgrade to Samba 3.x and enable NTLMv2 by adding "client ntlmv2 auth = yes" to your smb.conf file. Because of another issues with previous versions, I strongly recommend upgrading to 3.0.22 or later regardless of your choice for this particular instance. Alternate solution: change Vista's security settings to permit lower-security authentications. (as below) To enable Windows Vista to connect to Mac OS X with Windows File Sharing enabled, you will need to change the following policy in Windows Vista: StartRunsecpol.msc [enter] Click on "Local Policies" -- "Security Options" Navigate to the policy "Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level" and double-click it to get its Properties. By default Windows Vista sets the policy to "NTVLM2 responses only". Use the drop-down arrow to change this to "LM and NTLM – use NTLMV2 session security if negotiated". In Vista Home Premium, you won't have this tool so per Steve Winograd, do: 1. Run the registry editor and open this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Lsa 1. If it doesn't already exist, create a DWORD value named LmCompatibilityLevel 3. Set the value to 1 4. Reboot Please note that this assumes that you've set up OS X file sharing correctly and created a user account/password on that box to match the one on the Vista machine.
