[Samba] Can't become connected user! - network browsing issue

[Carl Matthews]

Hi,

I am having an issue browsing my work group, i have made the samba 
server the master browser and it wins the elections. As far as i can 
tell from the nmbd.logs it is also collecting hosts for the workgroup 
but when you try to list the workgroup this error is recorded in the 
messages log :

nss_wins[7417]: [2004/09/14 09:54:23, 0] 
smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(570)

nss_wins[7417]:   Can't become connected user!

Now all users can use \\server and list the shares and access them all, 
so all users and passwords are correct.

windows gives the error "Workgroup is not accessible, you might not have 
permission to use the network resource"

The server is running Fedora Core 1 and samba version : 3.0.6-2.FC1

The best bits of my smb.conf is below, thanks for any help.
