       Assuming that's true, how would I change things to get this 
problem to go away? Add some kind of group mapping or something? How 
does one go about doing that?
       I may try verifying that 3.0.23 introduced this issue by rolling 
back samba to its previous version (whatever it was). We'll see.

       ALSO

       My Windows XP client also dual-boots into Fedora 7 as well, and 
from Fedora 7 on the workstation I can access the samba shares:

$ smbclient -L //www

        ---------            -------
        HOME                 WWW


       But for some strange reason, the same machine in Windows cannot 
see the "www" machine at all.
       My question is now:  What reason would there be for the client to 
be able to connect to samba from Linux but not from Windows?
       I am going to hook up wireshark and watch what's going on at the 
network level when I get a free moment. In the meantime, any suggestions 
whatsoever are welcome.

Sincerely,

       Daryl.
