Hi John,
            I emailed that chap you suggested, just got an out of office reply.
            I think I'm halfway there though,  I ran the following command

#smbclient -U% -L localhost

Added inetrface ip=192.168.x.x bcast= 192.168.x.x nmask=255.x.x.x
Session Setup Failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in a
Tree Connect or Session Setup are Invalid.)

So I had a look in the /etc/inetd.conf file and added the following two lines

netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd smbd
netbios-ns dgram tcp nowait root /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd nmbd

then ran kill -HUP id_no

re running the smbclient command above resulted in the same error message, I can
connect to the share from a windows client by \\servername\sharename
it asks for password and accepts it this time.  I'm still confused about the
error message above but I seem to be making headway.
Any input you can give will be greatfully recieved.

regards
Adrian

That command says:

List resources on 'localhost' as user null and password null. ie:
-Uusername%password, which are empty. ie: -U'nothing'%'nothing'
== -U%.

This means that your system lacks an account for the unix user that should
be used to allow your clients to retrieve the browse list from the IPC$
share. Please refer to man smb.conf and search for 'guest account'.

It is much better to run smbd and nmbd as Daemons, otherwise you may
experience browsing problems. Running through inetd is possible but bit
preferred.
