Hi, Clive, try `sudo -i smbpasswd theusernametofix' to reset an unknown password of a Samba user on that particular machine. You may need to do this on each of them; I've never used Samba. :-) https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/current/man-html/smbpasswd.8.html
As well as Samba, NFS is still about as is the Andrew File System, that I couldn't recall the name of last night. (Not Amanda. :-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_File_System https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_File_System The roots of n²-1 are n+1 and n-1. That might have relevance to those that heard about multiplying 255ths by 257 when scaling [0, 256) to [0, 256²).
