Samba related question.

[bscott at ntisys.com]

  To go back to your original problem, try setting these options in the 
Linux box's /etc/samba/smb.conf file:

	netbios name = FOO
	workgroup = BAR
	encrypt passwords = yes
	smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
	local master = yes
	domain master = yes
	preferred master = yes
	name resolve order = lmhosts wins bcast
	dns proxy = no

If the server's name isn't "FOO", change that.  If the workgroup's name
isn't "BAR", change that.  Save and restart Samba.

  Oh, also try this, from Linux:

	smbclient -N -L //FOO

That should list available shares.  If it doesn't, Samba's busted.

  Oh, and run "testparm" to see if you have any syntax errors in the
smb.conf file.
