SMB/NMBD configuration troubles.

[Steve Litt]

Brandon --

Just for fun, try this minimal smb.conf and see whether test 4 still fails:

workgroup=<same as win client>
netbios name=<host name of server>
encrypt passwd=<no for early w95 and wfw, yes otherwise>
[tmp]
path = /tmp

If the error remains the same, you have much fewer variables to consider.
If the error goes away or changes, you can exploit the differences.
