[Samba] "account not authorized to log in from this station" - What's wi th this?

[Clay, John]

I have set up a samba server on a standard tcp/ip lan, nt servers, nt
workstations (some 98 and 1, 95).

> I can access palmdata, and the files within, from my nt box without any
> sort of authentication.
> 
> From any other nt box on the lan I get the authentication dialog box.
> Given the smb.conf file, below, it seems like I shouldn't. At any rate it
> fails when using a username/password that exists on samba box and that is
> member of root. The message I get is in the subject line of this post.
