I'm not sure how I determine my "passdb backend" statement. I don't see
anything like this in my global values. If I just add something like
"passdb backend = tdbsam" don't I have to have set something up to make
that work?

I just posted that samba 3.0.23c-1 broke my Mac connection that was
working with previous versions of samba, and the result of "testparm" on
my debian box, as follows:
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Unknown parameter encountered: "character set"
Ignoring unknown parameter "character set"
Processing section "[rp]"
Processing section "[HDB5]"
Processing section "[Music]"
Loaded services file OK.

Sorry, Chris, I'm a bit of a newbie with samba. I've always been able to
use the gui and get things to work, but I can't this time. Can you
clarify what I need to do to alter my smb.conf file? I can send the one
on my OSX machine as well if that will help.
