Thanks Jim,

I'm running as workgroups, so I dont even bother with PDC / BDC's. 
I've verified that the workgroups line is correct:
  workgroup = TEACHERS

The smbusers file - I thought that had to do with unix user names
mapping differently (which doesnt really apply in this case - the one
user name i'm using is same in unix and samba).  But I added a line - no
effect.

I'll keep still fumbling my way through!
