Jason,

    I'm assuming that you're trying to connect to your Samba server via WIN
NT?  If so, you need to go into the registry and add a key that enables
plaintext passwords.  You can find information on how to do this in
/usr/local/share/doc/samba.

     Also, the easiest way I've found to configure Samba, is by using SWAT.
It's included when you install Samba.  Take a look at
/usr/local/share/doc/samba/README.swat  It will tell you how to use SWAT.

Cheers

Joe
