Gary and Guille--
I checked the logs at /var/log/samba/smbd.log and have in there
a long series of these messages:

Does that provide a clue?
Yes, but I don't know quite what it is saying. :) It may be that it is
looking for some NetBIOS information but don't quote me on that. The
experts on this forum should be able to provide a better answer. Or you
can try googling the error line. That frequently turns up useful
information!
I don't know anything about nsswitch nor winbind, so I suspect I am
not using them.
Yes, I am running a firewall on ubuntu, firestarter. It has not
reported any incidents or events, so I suspect that is not the
problem. Besides it was not giving me problems (that I
recognized as problems, anyway) when the redhat machine was the server.
To answer Gary's question: This is a small office involving 3 people
and 3 Ubuntu clients, one WinXP Pro client, and 2 Win95 clients.
This is a production environment using mainly word processing and
spreadsheets. The linux boxes connect using fstab entries like this:

I suggest you set up your Samba server as a domain controller. This
means that it is a central login point that keeps track of the user
accounts. SWAT has a wizard to do the basic setup for this.
Memory on the old eMachines is 128Mb; on the new machine it is 256Mb.
This should be enough for running a server without a GUI. However, you
could bump it up to as much as it can hold and you should see a
performance increase. Even slow memory is faster than a disk drive, so
the more you can keep cached, the better.
When you say set the log level up higher, the only thing I see is
to log more to syslog instead of to the samba logs, if I am reading
it correctly. It is set to 0 right now. Is this what you mean?
What should I try setting it to?
10 or 100 should get you lots of messages.
The files were moved to the new server by way of tgz files. These
were created by a backup Ubuntu machine. The data HDD on the old
server crashed, necessitating the use of another machine.
This means the old user and group ids are being used. In Linux/Unix,
there isn't a lot of connection between the user number and the account
name (same with groups). User 1001 is whatever account name is in
/etc/passwd at the time. You're going to have to either change the
account names and groups to match your old setup or change the
owner:group settings to match your current accounts and groups.
When I run top, I presume I run it on the server. What sorts of
things am I looking for? I am getting things like this:

I just saved a document and there was briefly a line for smbd.
This shows that your server is operating normally. Nothing is chewing up
CPU cycles.
Is this a domain controller? Does it farm out password checking to
another server? You may want to set up SWAT and use the wizard to set up
the server in its intended role (domain controller, member server or
stand-alone).
I do not know enough to answer these questions. I used webmin and swat
to tweak the old server, and have installed swat on the new but not
yet run it.
Thanks folks! I feel like you are getting me on solid ground.
