Hi Andrew,
I'm having problems with Samba, on FreeBSD 2.2.5.
I have tried both Version 1.9.17p2 ( Which came with the release ), and
the latest version
1.9.18p8 ( from samba web site, and recompiled for FreeBSD ).
Both smbd, and nmbd are started from the command line as follows
( When compilying the code I changed the SBIN directory to sbin (
instead of bin )
/usr/local/sbin/smbd -D
/usr/local/sbin/nmbd -D
I also tried using inetd ( with same results )
I followed the suggested test method as outlined in DIAGNOSING.txt with
the following results.
Test 1: Passed
Test 2: Passed
Test 3: Failed ( Continuted with testing )
Test 4: Passed
Test 5: Passed
Test 6: Passed
I can use smbclient to connect to shares on by NT4.0 Workstation ( with
plain passwords ).
I'm now totally at the end of thing to try, and hope you can make some
suggestions.
( Also don;t know if this is relavant, but ethernet card is a Digital
21143 based 100BaseTX card )
Thanks in advance
Igor van de Griendt

BTW Do you need the lmhosts file if running a DNS?
PS. I started with a very small smb.conf file, with no luck, so i
started using the file below ( from the example directory ).
Attached is a copy of my smb.conf file:
[File: smb.conf]
# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command
"testparm"
# to check that you have not many any basic syntactic errors.
