Hi James, > > Try running testparm, it could just be a mis-configured system. Thanks, but I tried that. There is nothing wrong with the smbd.conf file.

I'll take a look at /var/log/messages, but /var/log/samba/smbd.log is complaining about a missing secrets.tdb file. I have such a file from the previous installation with the same permissions as before but it can't read it for some reason. If I delete the file, samba oesn't seem able to create a new one, even though I made /etc/samba world writeable to test. I have removed all of samba from the system and done a clean re-install but I still can't get this to work. I just can't understand what I did that was so disastrous - all the files were working, as was samba, just fine before I reinstalled the OS and copied back the /etc/samba files...
