My experience is very limited on Unix and Samba.  Please forgive me if 
the answer is right in front of me.

Problems accessing shares on my Samba 3.0.1pre1 running on Gentoo1.4

I'm stuck big time!  I've been trying to figure out why I cannot access 
shares.  The only share I can currently read & write to is:
[OpenShare]
        comment = Temporary file space
        path = /tmp
        read only = No
        guest ok = Yes
Linux permissions: drwxrwxrwt   36 root     root         3328 Oct 21 
11:25 tmp

When I try to acces [LinuxSoftware {FAT32}] share I get:

"\\anc-gentoo1\LinuxSoftware is not accessible.  You may not have 
permisions....  The network path cannot be found."

**I have verified that the path is correct.**

[LinuxSoftware]
        comment = OpenSource
        path = /mnt/windows/Software/
        write list = @"Domain Admins"
        read only = No
        guest ok = Yes
Linux permissions: drwxr--r--   57 tim  root        32768 Oct  8 00:49 
Software

On this share I get a prompt for  username and password; although 
nothing seems to let me in.  TIM is a domain user.
[TIM]
        comment = Tim's Service
        path = /home/bxnctej/
        valid user = TIM
        read only = No

Linux permissions: drwx------   37 tim  Domain Users     2048 Oct 21 
11:58 bxnctej
* tim is my local linux account

I may have narrowed down the problem to this log entry.  DOL-ANC-WTS2 is 
the W2K server that I'm trying to access the Samba shares from.  I don't 
understand why GETPWNAM is looking for the machine name.  I understand 
GETPWNAM to look into /etc/password.  I don't understand why winbind 
wants to look for DOL-ANC-WTS2 in a local password file?

I included my groupmap.  Should I noticed two groupmappings for "Domain 
Admins"

bash-2.05b# ./net groupmap list
System Operators (S-1-5-32-549) -> sys
Replicators (S-1-5-32-552) -> -1
Guests (S-1-5-32-546) -> nobody
Domain Users (S-1-5-21-3417231078-1290269627-1885213793-513) -> users
Domain Admins (S-1-5-21-3417231078-1290269627-1885213793-2005) -> root
Power Users (S-1-5-32-547) -> sys

Users (S-1-5-32-545) -> users

I can do these commands with success!
wbinfo -u
wbinfo -g
getent group
getent passwd

bash-2.05b# ./nmblookup anc-07-14927xp
Got a positive name query response from 146.63.135.98 ( 146.63.135.98 )
146.63.135.98 anc-07-14927xp<00>

Please let me know if I can send more info.
Thank you for your time,
Tim Jordan
