I think one of your problems is that you seem to be failing to
understand that when you you run Samba as a standalone server, it is
also a client for other servers, this means that you may have missed
this parameter: lanman auth

Which defaults to 'no', so your 'server' will only use SMBv1 (at a
minimum and if configured to do so) and, from memory, an Amiga hasn't a
clue what SMB is.
