With guidance from some people on the list, I was able to get the smbpasswd set correctly, and I can access my VMS directories now. However I have a question....

In my tinkering I had issued a TCPIP SET NOVERV SMBB as part of my efforts to "clean out" things between install attempts, and had not set it up to run again ( I forgot :- } )
