Not that silly a question to me as I've not been sure what this means. I
have done as root
mbpasswd -a -U Marty
but how does this relate to what I do on a windoz box when trying to access
the share?

Not sure; if this means the 'hosts allow' line I believe it's correct
# cat /usr/local/etc/smb.conf
[global]
workgroup = Face2Interface
server string = Samba Server
hosts allow = 192.168.0. 127.
log file = /var/log/log.%m
max log size = 500
; security = user
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
dns proxy = no
[test]
comment = For testing only, please
path = /tmp
read only = yes
guest ok = yes

That helps cuz it confirms what I've suspected that my installation is
fubar. Luke, I think my best bet is to rtfm instead of chasing my tail (and
bugging others in the process).
Thanks.
