[Samba] server change

[Bill Szkotnicki]

OK now I have tried copying all of the /var/cach/samba files into the 
new server ( after stopping it and backing it up ) and we still have the 
same issue.
Nothing seems yo be broken as far as I know now but
unless we unjoin and rejoin a machine a guest user can not logon.

Any other ideas?

I have turned on extensive logging but there doesn't seem to be anything 
useful  in the logs.

When the guest id tries ( windows xp ) there is no recognition of an 
attempt in the log files.
