This is a second attempt to convey my problem.  I have made some discoveries
along the way that might assist in diagnosing this this.

First, I have a RH6.1 workstation I want to join an NT Domain.  I have SWAT
up and running.  The following is the /etc/smb.conf produced using SWAT.

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from localhost (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2000/01/24 12:07:09

# Global parameters
[global]
        workgroup = ACCI
        netbios name = PAUL
        security = DOMAIN
        encrypt passwords = Yes
        password server = 192.168.1.1
        log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
        max log size = 50
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
        wins server = 192.168.1.1
        guest account = guest
        hosts allow = 192.168.1.

[homes]
        comment = Home Directories
        read only = No
        guest ok = Yes
        browseable = No

[printers]
        comment = All Printers
        path = /var/spool/samba
        print ok = Yes
        browseable = No

[cdrom]
        path = /mnt/cdrom
        guest ok = Yes
        browseable = No

[cdrom1]
        path = /mnt/cdrom1
        guest ok = Yes
        browseable = No

When starting /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb I get the following:

[root at paul /etc/rc.d/init.d]# ./smb start
Starting SMB services: [  OK  ]

[root at paul /etc/rc.d/init.d]#


/var/log/samba/log.smb contains the following:

Where should I look and/or what should I do?
