Hi,
armed with Samba-3 -by example I proceeded to test my 2 linux lan
[suselinux pro 9.1 with Samba 3.0.9-2.6-suse].

I followed instructions and made the smb.config as small as possiblw:

[global]
workgroup = snj
server string = Samba Server
guest ok = yes

[orb]
comment = removable 2.2 gb hd
path = /orb
browsable = yes
read only = no

However, I was stumped practically immediately as you can see:

west:~ # smbclient -L localhost -U%
Domain=[SNJ] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.9-2.6-SUSE]

        Sharename       Type      Comment
        ---------       ----      -------
        orb             Disk      removable 2.2 gb hd
        IPC$            IPC       IPC Service (Samba Server)
        ADMIN$          IPC       IPC Service (Samba Server)
Domain=[SNJ] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.9-2.6-SUSE]

        Server               Comment
        ---------            -------
        WEST                 Samba Server

        Workgroup            Master
        ---------            -------
        SNJ                  WEST

west:~ # smbclient -L WEST -Uroot%password
Connection to WEST failed
west:~ # smbclient -L WEST -Uroot%
Connection to WEST failed
west:~ # smbclient -L WEST -Uroot
Connection to WEST failed
west:~ # smbclient -L WEST -U
Connection to WEST failed
west:~ # smbclient -L WEST -U%
Connection to WEST failed
west:~ #               

I tried variations on the example [S3be-p22] but none worked.
I presume I am doing something wrong - the question is what?
Can you help?
Thanks
