All the installations I performed were RPMs from Red Hat, or more likely, a Red Hat mirror site. The first one I tried, 2.2.3a was definitely from Red Hat.
Thanks for the info. I'll probably just leave my daemons running from /etc/rc.local then since that runs last. As for my problem, I figured it out this evening when I got home. I was on the right track. Step one was fixing my smb.conf file to have the smb file parameter point to /etc/samba/smbpasswd instead of the /usr/bin/smbpasswd program. I confused myself on that one. The second step was running "smbadduser allen:allen" to add my UNIX:NT account into the smbpasswd encrypted password file. I once again had to change my /usr/bin/smbpasswd file permissions, but after doing that and generating the user ID, everything is working great.
