When the world was young, Graham Menhennitt <gfm at mira.net> carved some
runes like this:

This is not a samba problem (and it looks like FreeBSD uses pam).
When you do a:
smbclient -L server
and it asks for a password, just hit enter (it doesn't need a
password). As for the PAM stuff, I got some PAM errors at first
too:
Jan 18 08:57:15 rama PAM_pwdb[3743]: 1 authentication failure;
(uid=0) -> dude for samba service
This crops up in /var/log/messages for every user connection. I'm
pretty sure it's just a PAM configuration error, but I haven't
gotten around to resolving it yet. Check /etc/pam.d and see what's
there. (and let me know when you have it fixed ;-)
