Yep I know.  My point is that this list only deals with the Samba server.

IIRC you said you could connect with smbclient but not with finder?  Then
this is a finder problem.

And the other part of it was that you would get more help pertinent to your
problem from Apple.  There have been quite a few problems that people have
had and asked about on this list to do with upgrading to Tiger.  Apple makes
quite a few changes to code that the upstream developers in many FOSS
projects seem to find unuseable for the main project, and that they are not
party to.  Because your problem seems to stem from Tiger I am being helpful
in (unhelpfully) suggesting that you ask Apple.
