[PLUG] Samba problems

["Aaron Crosman" <ACrosman@afsc.org>]

First, thanks to everyone that gave suggestions/assistance with my
server permissions questions last week.  For those that care I went with
every user having their own group, and a umask of 002.  It's working
great so far.

Now I'm having problems get Samba to work on our staging server.  It
seems to startup fine, and I can see the port being open if I do a port
scan, but I can't connect.  I tried playing on Google for a while, and
the only hint I could find was several pages from 2-3 years about ago
the evils of Samba on servers using Shadow passwords.  They including
long sets of instructions about recompiling samba to have shadow
password support, and near total reconfiguration changes to deal with
that support.  Before I attempt to follow any of that advice I wanted to
find more up-to-date information, but I didn't have much luck.  Can
anyone offer suggestions about what I'm missing or where I might look
for more information.  I'd like to avoid having to read a whole book
just to setup 1 server that I mostly ignore (that was the other
suggestion I found...go read books before getting started).

Thanks
Aaron
