WIN NT 4.0 NO GO & YES I HAVE ENCRYPTED PASSWORDS

[William L. Terry]

Okay I feel foolish now.  I was sure I had removed firewall 
control on this system but obviously not.  Setting ipchains -F 
cleared the problem on this one machine. I still have the 
problem on another system but I need the ipchains/iptables as 
that system is running as a VPN.  I did remove any restrictions 
to ports 137 and 139, but perhaps it is best for me to revisit
the setup.

I am posting my *working* smb.conf file for samba 2.2.1a with 
RH7.1 for Gerry to look at.  

FYI.  RH7.1 by default sets up ipchains rather than iptables 
even though it is a 2.4 kernel.

[global]     
     netbios name = SIRRUS
     workgroup = MESA     
     os level = 64
     preferred master = yes
     domain master = yes
     local master = yes 
     security = user
     encrypt passwords = yes
     domain logons = yes
     logon path = \\%N\profiles\%u
     logon drive = H:
     logon home = \\SIRRUS\%u
     logon script = logon.cmd
     wins support = yes
     domain admin group = root @ntadmin

[netlogon]
     path = /usr/local/samba/lib/netlogon
     writeable = no
     write list = ntadmin 

[profiles]
     path = /export/smb/ntprofile
     writeable = yes
     create mask = 0600
     directory mask = 0700

[public]
   path = /home/public
   public = yes
   only guest = yes
   writable = yes
   printable = no
