[gentoo-user] samba no connect from windows

[Harry Putnam]

This samba problem (windows machines cannot connect to gentoo server)
seems to have followed a recent update including samba.

qlop shows: Mon Nov  1 05:10:33 2010 >>> net-fs/samba-3.5.6

Usually I've found I might need to redo passwords with smbpasswd.

This time, that is not sufficient.

Looking at the logs... which I might add seem ungodly full more or
less useless gunk.... I'm not seeing anything that appears to be an
error or rejected connection... in fact it appears to be saying the
connection was successful but I'm by no means competent to determine that.   

I've included a snippet below, but let me say that I first restarted
samba, then rm'ed all log* files under /var/log/samba.

Then went to a windows machine and attempted to connect.

Came back to gentoo and scanned thru the logs.  3 were from that
attempt judging by name or ip.  

This snippet starts from the very top of the newly created log and
appears to be showing the connection succeeding?:

[...] gobs more skipped... then this appears when the windows dialog
      finally gives up the ghost.
