Hi,
I posted a couple of times about a problem I was having with browsing,
where smbclient (and other clients) showed nothing in the browse list,
but wins.dat and browse.dat showed a list and the log showed the server
becoming the domain and local master browser.
Well, the problem turned out to be permissions on the .../samba/var and
.../samba/var/locks directories; not allowing the 'guest account' access
to the files. D'oh!
I thought I just post to let you know the solution (so hopefully someone
won't be as dumb as me in future ;-).
