Well wha'dyaknow? I apparently stumbled upon the answer to
my problem. I inserted: "domain master = yes" into smb.conf on the Samba
server and things just started working. Here is my entire, working,
smb.conf:
So all FC2 systems have to be configured as domain masters? I thought
that was for setting up a sever as a PDC.
(I also added password syncing but that has nothing to do with things).
This is for a stand alone machine hosting its own workgroup and the Unix
users. I restarted the smb service a half dozen times and each time I was
able to browse the workgroup and shares within a few seconds.
I also discovered that Nautilus is a little flakey. There were times I
would receive the "Sorry, couldn't display..." error message and just
clicking "reload" would then finish bringing up that window. I actually
went out and got another smb browser that exhibits none of this flakiness.
It's a little KDE app called Smb4k. Rather nice. (Aside: this is the
second kde app I like better than any Gnome counterpart. The other being
K3B for CD burning.)
So it would seem that my Samba troubles are history, knock on wood.
Was this working correctly when you had iptables active with that set of
ports cut through?
