Linux Samba almost setup

[Stephen L Arnold]

When the world was young, "Tom Roche" <tom_roche at ncsu.edu> carved 
some runes like this:  

[snip]

What happens when you try the above with a real user account, ie:

net use X: \\backpack\tmp /user:jones

Have you tried with a win95 client?  Any problems with smbclient?  
Do you pass all the test steps in diagnosis.txt?

As an experiment, I just tried mounting a share (using Net Use 
under NT4SP3) as a different user (on the samba side) than my 
current NT account and got the following error:

System error 1219 has occurred.

The credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of 
credentials.

I really don't know much about NT at all (we've only had the 
machine for a few weeks, and I'm much more interested in learning 
things like SlickEdit, linux apps, etc).  I'll do what I can though.

                  ^^^^^^
You need a trailing dot to allow all addresses in your local 
address space, ie:

hosts allow = 192.168.0.  127.

Hope this helps, Steve
