my password. I am running on Ubuntu LUCID. In the smb file there seems
to be a lot of PAM lines -- I don't know if that is significant to what
appears to be a password type conflict between this problematic computer
and the other computers which are also Ubuntu. I don't use encryption on
the computers just text for passwords and so I guess the problem is just
that but I cannot get samba to behave even when the Samba GUI says there
is no encryption -- the error says just the opposite.

Windows XP and above do not allow plain text passwords by default.
That's the reason for the first error I read your problem correctly.

Try setting 'encrypt passwords = true' and see if the first error goes away.

I am now getting only one error message and it seems that all 3 Ubuntu
machines are having the same problem with each other -- somehow I missed
that I suppose because I'm moving my network into a Linux only network.

ANYWAY, the error I'm now getting from the 3 Ubuntu machines is :

"connection to (machine name) failed (Error
NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED)"

I used "machine nane" to refer to the 3 Ubuntu machines which are
"star", "cic2ext", and "Ubuntu".
