thanks for your response. 
Obviously lmhosts is not part of the equation anymore. 
But I copied/pasted from something that worked to something that didn't( I thought of clarifying this in a following email but didn't)
If there is no /etc/lmhosts I'm sure nothing will suffer for having that parameter.
DNS has been examined and re-examined. 
All the tests described in the wiki have been performed and results are exactly what is expected.
Still trying to shoot this down. It's elusive. I have windows clients who connect to shares and are presented with a username password dialogue. Tentatively, it appears that simply running winbind -tP solves the problem for them. So as a test I have an hourly cron job that runs that on the server.

I think you should look at your dns ;-)

I doubt whether you have a lmhosts file on the Samba server, so if you
remove that, the line becomes 'wins host bcast' and the only
difference between that and what you had, is 'host'.
