Ok, the saga continues. I've figured out the cause, now I'm hoping someone will tell me the fix!
When you browse the server, your workstation is requesting access to the IPC$ share. In the log file I found an error where it said it couldn't access '/root/tmp', thus giving an access denied error. I did a little test by changing my /root to world writeable and /root/tmp to world writeable. After that I could browse. So the cause is Samba wanting to use /root/tmp as a temporary directory for 'something' to do with the IPC$ connection. How do I change this to point to a directory of my choosing? IS it linked to a user that Samba starts up as? Suggestions?

Things went well in the LDAP conversion using scripts, etc. I've set things up using the new LDAP schema and not the compatibility schema. I can see the server listed in the machines on my workgroup. I can even explicitly map a drive letter to a share on the new samba server. I cannot, however, browse the server! A windows 2000 workstation gives me the error: The Server is not configured for Transactions. The log files have not been helpful for me in determining where the problem is.
