[Samba] smbclient/samba not working properly

[Vasant Tiwari]

Hi,
 If this has been answered already please point me to the right place.

The thing is I am having problems getting smbclient from samba-2.2.8a 
package to work properly. I have used Red Hat 9, Suse 8 and Gentoo before 
migrating to LFS 5.0. In all earlier distributions it worked fine so I 
think the problem might be LFS specific though my mind refuses to believe 
this.

Synopsis of the problem:

LFS release 5.0
Samba Version 2.2.8a

[root at zion ~]# smbclient -M zion
added interface ip=172.26.112.41 bcast=172.26.255.255 nmask=255.255.0.0
Got a positive name query response from 172.31.1.11 ( 172.26.112.41 )
message start: ERRSRV - ERRaccess (The requester does not have  the  
necessary  access  rights  within  the specified  context for the 
requested function. The context is defined by the TID or the UID.)

Any help or suggestion is invited.
A search led me to a posting with similar problem but no solutions.

What especially bothers me is that I'm able to send messages to other 
people using Windows or other Linux distros like Gentoo or Red Hat but 
neither of the 3 LFS users in my knowledge on my LAN are able to send 
messages to each other. I mean only LFS machines seem to not recieve the 
messages.
