I will try and do the same at bugzilla

but for now a bit more information after some experimentation.  

When homes share definition is removed I get:

[2009/10/27 17:23:33,  0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(1292)
  dadsdesktop (10.0.2.149) couldn't find service roo
[2009/10/27 17:23:33,  0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(1292)
  dadsdesktop (10.0.2.149) couldn't find service roo
[2009/10/27 17:23:33,  0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(1292)
  dadsdesktop (10.0.2.149) couldn't find service root
[2009/10/27 17:23:33,  0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(1292)
  dadsdesktop (10.0.2.149) couldn't find service root

This supports comments from other people that the client re-tries with the
correct name and then connects.  I do not have issues connecting to my home
share.  Maybe some lag sometimes...

When I make a share named "roo", the "can't find service" messages go away
and I get a visible "roo" share.

Also get the following from smbstatus when I have made no attempt to connect
to the "roo" share with explorer or whatever.  This tells me the client is
purposely trying to connect to "roo" by itself.

Samba version 3.3.8

No locked files


Seems to me the client is the issue here...
