this is a BRANCH_NTDOM version, not the mail-line version.

are you running from inetd or anything?  you cannot be running the latest
version if log.nmbd states that 1.9.18p3 is running, period.

- are you running it as ./nmbd instead of just nmbd
- did you do a make; make install; /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd;
/usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd?

yes, because you are running old (and different!) versions of samba,
probably from locations that you are not aware of.

well done - someone who picked a sid that _isn't_ 123-456-789 :-) :-)

ok, you will need "encrypt passwords = yes", for sure.

the use of remote announce is not recommended.

add case sensitive = no case preserve = yes short case preserve = yes look
these up in man smb.conf to check spelling.

important:

locking = no
guest ok = no
delete either public = yes or guest ok = yes - they are identical see
man smb.conf :-)
