+
+<para>
+System error 1240 means that the client is refusing to talk
+to a non-encrypting server. Microsoft changed WinNT in service
+pack 3 to refuse to connect to servers that do not support
+SMB password encryption.
+</para>
+
+<para>There are two main solutions:
+<simplelist>
+<member>enable SMB password encryption in Samba. See the encryption part of
+the samba HOWTO Collection</member>
+
+<member>disable this new behaviour in NT. See the section about

+<para>
+<quote>When getting the list of shares available on a host using the command
+<command>smbclient -N -L</command>
+the program always prompts for the password if the server is a Samba server.
+It also ignores the "-N" argument when querying some (but not all) of our
+NT servers.
+</quote>
+
+<para>
+No, it does not ignore -N, it is just that your server rejected the
+null password in the connection, so smbclient prompts for a password
+to try again.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+To get the behaviour that you probably want use <command>smbclient -L host -U%</command>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+This will set both the username and password to null, which is
+an anonymous login for SMB. Using -N would only set the password
+to null, and this is not accepted as an anonymous login for most
+SMB servers.

-Subject: Recent FAQ answers to common questions / problems
-=============================================================================
-
-Not listening for calling name
-==============================
-
-> Session request failed (131,129) with myname=HOBBES destname=CALVIN
-> Not listening for calling name
-
-If you get this when talking to a Samba box then it means that your
-global "hosts allow" or "hosts deny" settings are causing the Samba
-server to refuse the connection.
-
-Look carefully at your "hosts allow" and "hosts deny" lines in the
-global section of smb.conf.
-
-It can also be a problem with reverse DNS lookups not functioning
-correctly, leading to the remote host identity not being able to
-be confirmed, but that is less likely.
-===============================================================================
-
-System Error 1240
-=================
-System error 1240 means that the client is refusing to talk
-to a non-encrypting server. Microsoft changed WinNT in service
-pack 3 to refuse to connect to servers that do not support
-SMB password encryption.
-
-There are two main solutions:
-
-1) enable SMB password encryption in Samba. See ENCRYPTION.txt in the
-Samba docs
-
-2) disable this new behaviour in NT. See WinNT.txt in the
-Samba docs
-===============================================================================
-
-smbclient -N
-============
-> When getting the list of shares available on a host using the command
-> smbclient -N -L <server>
-> the program always prompts for the password if the server is a Samba server.
-> It also ignores the "-N" argument when querying some (but not all) of our
-> NT servers.
-
-No, it does not ignore -N, it is just that your server rejected the
-null password in the connection, so smbclient prompts for a password
-to try again.
-
-To get the behaviour that you probably want use
- smbclient -L host -U%
-
-this will set both the username and password to null, which is
-an anonymous login for SMB. Using -N would only set the password
-to null, and this is not accepted as an anonymous login for most
-SMB servers.
