[PLUG] Take 2: Smb.conf (and related joy)

Have you tried making your wintendo rejoin the domain?

In you Network properties, move your machine into a workgroup, reboot,
re-join the domain.

Caveat: You'll most likely have a problem with any profiles you have
created, since Windows joyously sees the server/user combination as a new
domain, causing it to create a new profile for the new user/domain
combination. This is true even if you have the same name on your domain. If
you know how to move profiles, tho', you should be okay. I don't know how :)

I originally had this set up using a basic little package with a gui that I
picked up from SourceForge. Things worked fine, but for whatever reason, SMB
server would stop and never gave me any indication as to why, or that it was
doing it at all. I decided to go with the grown-up version of smb server to
see if that would fix things. I set up the .conf with the same shares and
permissions as I had set up under the other system, which all worked fine
(if I had the dumb thing running-I still can't figure out what shuts it
down), but now when I start up the wintendo it says it can't connect to me,
connection cannot be restored, etc. I'm trying to make sure that my smb.conf
is ok before I start checking on other things, since I think the only change
I really made was to go with a standard version of smb server. (My machine
is Mac OS X 10.1.5, the wintendo is on Win2k)

Does that make sense or am I just rambling? It was a lot more coherent
before the 3-minute power outage snarfed most of the original reply. (:
