First of all thank you for your fast reply!
I backed up my smb.conf and deleted several samba directories (/var/lib/samba, /var/log/samba, /var/samba/cache or something like that, and another), did a remove --purge samba and reinstalled, immediately after replacing smb.conf with the one I'd saved and restarting the samba service. I'm still on the "Workgroup" workgroup according to both my machine and a Windows one in the area- though I can't access my share because LinNeighborhood "Can't resolve address" and Windows "Cannot find the network name". Is the change supposed to take a while while it filters through the SMB network?
Any other ideas? Maybe Samba starting by default when I install the package messes up, and if I replaced the default smb.conf with my own before Samba starts for the first time it would work? That sounds awfully weird to me though, that it would be dependent on anything other than this one smb.conf file and reloading/restarting smbd...
Thanks again, Dan

I'm using Samba 3.0.0rc2-Debian on Debian unstable. At the time being it does everything I want it to except one: I'm in the wrong workgroup. Despite the line
workgroup = BETASIG
in my smb.conf, I show up in the workgroup "WORKGROUP." There is no mention of "workgroup" or "WORKGROUP" anywhere else in my smb.conf other than this.
Would be happy to share my smb.conf if that helps or provide any other relevant information.
Thanks,

You can try to backup and remove the content of /var/lib/samba/ and restart samba or try a dpkg-reconfigure on the main package.
I may help, if some of the files are not re-created you can take them back from your backup or extract the content of the .deb package (dpkg-deb --extract) to find a 'clean' verion of them.
A more radical stuff you might try is to back-up your smb.conf and 'purge'-reinstall the package.
I hope it'll help you, i use the same version of that package and don't have such problem.
