[PLUG] Fedora 21 & OSX samba connection not working.

Hi Guys,

I thought I'd try a local resource. I have a Fedora 21 and an OSX 10.10.5
system on the same network. I've tried applying all the information I could
find through google searches on the subject, and it appears I have smb and
nmb running on the Fedora box, but nothing is showing up in the network
listing on the osx machine.

I had initially tried an AFP server using netatalk, and with that I could
see the linux machine from osx. But connecting to it failed. Apple is also
moving away from AFP for file sharing apparently:
http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/06/11/apple-shifts-from-afp-file-sharing-to-smb2-in-os-x-109-mavericks
So I removed netatalk and am attempting to go with samba.

The smb and nmb services are running, but something doesn't look quite
right:

Any ideas what's wrong?
