David - seeing that you've already made modifications to your
/etc/samba/smb.conf file, is it safe to assume that you've already setup
the workgroup/domain name as being the same as the Windows boxes? Here
is a sample of what mine looks like:
[global]
workgroup = KMA
netbios name = KMA1
netbios aliases = kma1
server string = KMA1
security = SHARE
null passwords = Yes
pam password change = Yes
username map = /etc/samba/user.map
unix password sync = Yes
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 0
keepalive = 2
socket options =
SO_KEEPALIVE SO_BROADCAST
TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_THROUGHPUT
SO_SNDBUF=16384 SO_RCVBUF=16384
preferred master = Yes
default service = global
guest ok = Yes
[tmp]
comment = Temporary file space
path = /tmp
read only = No
public= Yes
[var]
comment = Web and Temp Space
path = /var
read only = No
public = Yes
...and as far as the "same username/password on both machines" -
sometimes you have to reset the unix smb username and password to get it
working properly ...(and of course, if you make changes to any of this,
please make sure to restart the smb server - or reboot)
Are you also using SWAT to do your configurations via the browser?
