[Samba] security = problems

[SPURGEON_MATHEW_D at LILLY.COM]

We are not using a WAN for the Samba connections, so thank you, I will 
take those setting out of the file. 
Why do I need to add the users to the smbpasswd file?

Are the above options really what you want? Try to leave them out and if 
you
have a wins server add:
wins server = <wins server ip address>

You only need the remote stuff if you are on a WAN. If you are this would
have been nice to know ;-)
If you are on a WAN make sure the above remote-IPs have really been 
elected
as browsers in the remote network.

And no, you don't need winbind if you already have unix users (or NIS
users).
