samba problem.

[Stephen Dawes]

Shaun,

I don't know if anyone has suggested this to you or not, as I haven't been
following this thread all that closely.

There is a Web interface for configuration SAMBA.  I don't know if it will
be useful for you or not, not knowing what you use for a browser, and
secondly, not know how visually intensive the application is.

The SAMBA Web configuration tool is called swat.

Just thought you may want to know, and maybe it will help you solve the few
final issues that it sounds like are lingering around.
