If samba server is used often, better choice is to run it as stand alone

If sparc is known by NTs on IP-level, it's possible you have
problems on netbios name level.

Use //sparc/disk1 with smbclient. Also you should give user name
by '-U <username>'

I suggest USER level if SHARE is not necessary

If you want to migrate to encrypted passwords
don't use 'encrypt passwords = yes' while
the plaintext are being encrypted. See 'man smb.conf'
