One nice thing about using unix, IMHO, is that you can test things on a
lower level if your gui looks screwed up. For example, you can use
smbclient to check to make sure that samba is not broken in the new rh
release (I doubt that it is). Only if this fails should you look into
config files. You should also grep around in /var/log before changing any
config files. I am in the (bad) habit of mucking around w/ config files as
soon as something looks fishy and that always haunts me later when I find
out that the problem lies elsewhere.

This is always #1 on my list for a user, but if you are doing exactly what
worked in rh7.3 and didn't change config files, then I would say that the
error is elsewhere.
