Odd Question

Hi! I'm kinda new to Samba (only been playing with it for a couple of
days) and I have run into some problems:
I've got samba up and running on a machine known as 'Mail'. Here's my conf
file:
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = BOOKSYS.COM
local master = No
[test]
comment = Test for Samba
path = /home/johnny
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
[monkey]
comment = Test Share on the Samba machine
path = /tmp
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
hosts allow = 192.168.10
Which is pretty light security-wise. This machine -does- show up in NT's
infernal 'Network Neighborhood' browser as 'Mail'. However, when I attempt
to access it, NT pops up a little window asking me for my
username/password. No matter what I try here, I get an error. Trying it
from the vastly more useful smbclient that came with Samba, Here's what I
get:
[root at mail samba]# smbclient '\\Mail\\monkey' -I 127.0.0.1 -Ujohnny
added interface ip=192.168.10.1 bcast=192.168.10.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
added interface ip=208.170.114.1 bcast=208.170.114.31
nmask=255.255.255.224
Password:
session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair
in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.)
Any idea what causes this? I have this server set up (more or less)
exactly as specified in the chapter on Configuring Samba in the Samba book
from O'Reily. I'm a bit (obviously) confused by the whole setup file that
came with samba. I'm really... how would I say this... not-too-good with
NT. That is to say, I couldn't administrate an NT server and expect it to
do anybody much good. Now I'm reaching the end of my rope as far as
getting NT to play nicely with my Linux machine and my boss -won't- go to
a pure-linux network. Drat it all.
Oh, yeah: This might come in handy: Here's the log created when I ran
smbclient '\\Mail\\monkey' -I 127.0.0.1 -Ujohnny

Any thoughts?
