[Samba] RH 7.3 + Samba DC

[Barry deFreese]

I haven't had the chance to look over your smb.conf yet but one of the things 
that stumped me for weeks with RedHat is that ipchains is enabled by default. 
 Check to see if ipchains is running and if so, are there rules to allow 
inbound netbios traffic ( ports 137 - 139 ).  If you are not worried about 
security, you can do an "ipchains -F" to remove them for now just to test.
