have you been experimenting with samba on rh8 ? ie changing names, ips etc ...? try shutting down samba .... killall smbd nmbd the shutdown/restart script for 2.2.7 & 8 doesen't work on redhat.. delete browse.dat and wins.dat (search..maybe /var/cache/samba/ ??) start samba...script ok here ! restart other clients to re-register with wins , allow a min or two to settle.. smbclient -L rh8box ...looks up itself through wins ? and shows browse list (w98 pcs?) and browse master and workgroup name ?
you use security=share ? os level =400 ! .hmmm..anything over 34 beats nt domain controller. see how that goes. Richard Coates.
