How is your samba server configured? You may want to post your /etc/samba/smb.conf (please only active options, not the commented ones). Without knowing the configuration help is very limited.
This is going to hurt, but here goes... [global] workgroup = OURHOUSE printing = cups printcap name = cups printcap cache time = 750 cups options = raw map to guest = Bad User include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile logon drive = P: add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody -s /bin/false %m$ domain logons = Yes domain master = Yes local master = Yes netbios name = thisbox os level = 65 passdb backend = smbpasswd:smbpasswd preferred master = Yes security = user [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S browseable = No read only = No inherit acls = Yes [profiles] comment = Network Profiles Service path = %H read only = No store dos attributes = Yes create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 [users] comment = All users path = /home read only = No inherit acls = Yes veto files = /aquota.user/groups/shares/ [groups] comment = All groups path = /home/groups read only = No inherit acls = Yes [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/tmp printable = Yes create mask = 0600 browseable = No [print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /var/lib/samba/drivers write list = @ntadmin root force group = ntadmin create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon write list = root That's all of it except for a couple of comment lines that were at the top. By the way, in /etc/samba, my smbusers and smbpasswd files have never been touched (they have dates from July). I don't know if that's significant.
PS: Why are you using samba in a Linux to Linux environment? (Got to admit, I never tried that) NFS is more suitable in this situation.
Because: - I once had it accidentally working (SuSE 9.1, I think) for several months (my wife was happily sharing files on my PC, and I could send files to hers for printing, faxing, etc.) - Several people have recommended Samba as being faster than nfs, as well as easier to configure (I never did get nfs to work) - the second computer "thatbox.ourhouse" is dual-boot with Win98, and I might like to get Windows to see network shares, someday.
