[Samba] configuration & cups

[PJourdan]

Resubmitting, as, apparently the attachment was messed up. It is in the 
message at the end.

I seem to be having a great deal of trouble with cups and samba configuration.
cups seems to go on and off and it works and doesn't work.
I think I need some help on my samba configuration. Generally, it has 
worked well on another machine, but my current setup seems a bit screwy.
System: FreeBSD 4.6.2; cups-1.1.15.1; cups-base-1.1.15.1_4; 
cups-lpr-1.1.15.1_1;cups-pstoraster-7.05.5; ghostscript-gnu-7.05_3 
(installed by cups-lpr); gimp-print-4.2.1; samba-2.2.6.p2
Problem: yesterday, I could see the Unix machine on Win2k. I have two 
printer shares that could be seen. Today, they are not there.
To log on to the FBSD machine from Win2k I get the log-on window and can 
connect by entering nothing and pressing enter.
I can access the Printer directory, the www and tmp.
But one directory, pippo, asks for a username and password but accepts none.
I am running samba from rc.local with no parameters
I am attaching my smb.conf
I am sure I am doing something wrong.

netstat -a  (o;n Win2k client

Active Connections

  Proto 		Local Address	kForeign address	Sate
  TCP		pippo: epmap	pippo:0			LISTENING
  ....
  TCP		pippo:1036	biggie2:netbios-ssn	TIME_WAIT
  UDP	...

So, we know I'm connected.
But no matter what username password combination I try to use, I cannot 
connect from Network Neighborhood.
Obviously, I don't understand what the username/password use is between the 
machines.
I probably do not have the right users set up in the correct manner on the 
Unix box or a user for the Unix box on Win2k. I have this set up correctly 
on another box, but for the life of me I do not remember exactly how or 
what I did to make it work.

Please help.
