this purpose, and this machine wil replace the old one. The other is
running just fine under Debian Woody. I tried both setting up this
machine from scratch and also copying /etc/smb.config over from the other
machine,
but nothing seems to work. The Windows machines all see the Linux
machine
itself, but the drive share is not visible. If I try to explore the
Linux
share, the system prompts me for a password under user Guest, and nothing
I
try will allow the share to be mounted on the XP machine. Here is the
smb.config which works fine under the old system:

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 192.168.1.101 (192.168.1.101)
# Date: 2005/02/11 21:27:23

# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = HOME
netbios name = DHCPSERVER
security = SHARE
obey pam restrictions = Yes
syslog = 0
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
os level = 10
dns proxy = No
guest account = lrhorer

[Data]
comment = Linux Server Data Drive
path = /Data
read only = No
guest ok = Yes

[Backup]
path = /Backup

[root]
comment = / on DHCPServer
path = /
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
hide dot files = No

Have you created the appropriate users with adduser and smbpasswd ?

Yes, lrhorer is a valid user. I did not explicitly use smbpasswd, because I
thought the SAMBA configuration utility in KDE would handle that. Is that
not the case?
