I've traced it down to what I think is an authentication problem:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/samba$ smbclient -L mog -U mat
Password: <I enter my password here>
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
If I replace -U mat with -N I get a typical smbclient -L listing, so I
know something is working.
Another fact is that I have an older Ubuntu (Hoary) machine that also
serves samba and works. I copied its /etc/samba/smb.conf to the machine
having trouble; the two machines are the same (config, username, and
password). Right now the workgroup names are different on the two
machines, but that didn't make a difference.
I'm stumped.

Please follow the official Samba documentation.
I have. I read the Samba3-HOWTO and many of the html docs that came with
the samba-docs package. I will readily admit that I didn't understand a
_lot_ of what I read. I'm an independent scientist who's trying to make
the most of my PC resources. I managed to get this working before, but I
can't repeat. By googling I found examples of the same error, but that's
all I found, problems and no solutions.
> Suggest you follow the
examples and the step-by-step deployment information in the book "Samba-3 by
Example". You can purchase hard copy from Amazon.Com, or download the PDF
from:
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba3-ByExample.pdf
If you have a problem with any step, in any chapter of this book please email
me the datails so I can improve the documentation.
I read through the first several chapters. None of the situations
described seemed to fit, and much of what I read didn't make sense. The
book assumes the reader is skillful regarding windows networking, which
I'm not. Please don't think I'm saying it's a bad book. I'm simply
saying I had difficulty reading it. I'm comfortable with UNIX, and I
found the samba3-Howto much more readable, as it goes over the Windows
principles on which samba is based.
All I want to do is set up password protected read write home shares on
1 to 3 linux PCs that I can access from the 1 to 3 linux PCs and 1 XP
machine. Right now I have only one user account on all the machines
(mat), but I can imagine having a couple more users.
If you suggest an appropriate example from your book, I'll be happy to
go back and study that chapter (and its predecessors), and then try to
implement it.
Sincerely,
Mat
