I cannot actually say that I "solved" it, but the best I can say is that it no longer presents itself. Here is what happened: One thing I did not mention (I didn't want to introduce oddities that I didn't think were related) is that when I initially installed the OS and install samba (but had not yet configured samba authentication), my account was able to access the one share I had configured. So I was not using LDAP and I had not established a password using smbpasswd, but I could access the share. (Could PAM have been involved?) I was mystified by this, but I do not understand samba very well, so I ignored it. Between that initial mystifying "success" and my final "resolution" I, of course, have been using LDAP for authentication and struggling with these Samba vs Linux permissions issues. Not knowing if the directive "encrypt passwords" was only used for smbpasswd or tdbsam, I changed "encrypt passwords = true" to "false". Restarted smbd and nscd and tried to connect to the share using my account. Wouldn't let me in (and I'm guessing this would be expected by people who know more). So I changed "encrypt passwords" back from "false" to "true". Restart smbd and nscd. AND I CAN CONNECT TO THE SHARE! Needless to say, I don't know why that did anything. In the event that someone knows what that might have done, I am definitely interested. Thanks to those who tried to help.
