The trust did actually exist (sorry, I forgot to mention it) ; I have a Linux 
user named vlouchi$ and in /etc/samba/smbpasswd, the line with vlouchi$ also 
does exist, so I guess it must be OK.

By typing 

smbclient -L hiroshiman

I saw that I had a DNS problem, which I resolved into adding the adhoc entries 
in /etc/hosts (ok, it is quick and dirty)

Typing 

smbpasswd -j CHERYLNET -r HIROSHIMAN -U root

Now works, but I cannot still access to the share on VLOUCHI

I guess, I'll have to dig into Winbind, now.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention, I am really a Samba and Windows networks newbie, 
so thanks a lot for your patience

Gerd
