Thanks, Deyan.  Added that tweak;  no doubt it's part of the puzzle.  I also remembered the old registry hack with old Samba versions, and found this PC had the reg flag set to use plain-text passwords;  undid that one, but still no go.  Any other suggestions?  [other than scrap the old clunker?  ;) ]
