I think that was indeed it!  It turns out the machine is "willow" but
the users login is "mswillow" :-). I didn't even notice that in the log
(I was seriously into seeing "willow" there).  I changed the smbusers
entry to:

jeanne = mswillow

and she wasn't even asked for a password, just zoooooom :-) right in! 
Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!

Hehe, I got caught "assuming" :-/ <blush>.

Thanks VERY VERY VERY much for your help and also to everyone else who
gave me a lot of good info!

Much appreciated!  Hehe, after three days of dealing with this, you
don't know how much :-)!

Now I am going to go look at the old server and see why it was working
there :-).

Thanks again & take care, Vikki (who is VERY happy :-).
