Or maybe it was the upgrade from FC2 -> FC4..........

I recently was running a FC2 Samba PDC and OpenLDAP, using Samba-3.0.10.

After I upgraded the server from FC2 to FC4 samba was broken and
wouldn't load because it was complaining about a library file not
existing.  (libldap.so.2) I believe.. Sure enough it wasn't there.  So
I had to recompile Samba 3.0.10 again.  Well the compile failed for
3.0.10 with the following error

So i downloaded the latest version of samba, 3.0.21c and it compiled
just fine but when i started the SMB server, I wasn't able to browse
the servers within the domain.  They just wouldn't show up.  What I do
in my WinXP pro clients is click:

Start->My Network Places->Entire Network->Microsoft Windows Network->BUNSIZE

I see the BUNSIZE domain, but as soon as I click BUNSIZE I get a blank
screen.  In version 3.0.10 I used to see my two servers, OSCAR &
HEFE-WEZIEN

However, when I put in the Exploder address bar, \\OSCAR &
\\HEFE-WEIZEN, I am able to browse those servers.  They just aren't
showing up in the Domain view.

Is there some kind of special upgrade procedure that I was supposed to
follow to maybe update the secret.tdb or is it just as easy as
creating a new one?

Also, when I try to browse the domain ON the FC4 server, I am unable
to see it and the servers.  So this just doesn't seem to be a Winblows
issue.

All firewalls are off in the server.

I am wondering if FC4 has some hidden security features that I am not aware of..
