samba - Apr 2004 - Samba misconfig... (long)

I am trying to get my samba setup running (after putting it on the back
burner for a few months with other issues).

I am running Samba 3.0.0 on a SuSE 7.2 install. I have a linux box
(clyde) and a Win2K box (Badmonkey) connected via a firewall/network. My
smb.conf file is shown here:

-- # Sambxa config file created using SWAT
# from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2003/12/04 05:28:37

# Global parameters
[global]
        workgroup = Penguinix
        netbios name = Clyde
        interfaces = eth0, lo
        hosts allow = 192.168.2
        security = User
        guest account = guest
        password server = clyde
        log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
        bind interfaces only = yes
        debug level = 1
        max log size = 1000
        debug timestamp = no
        encrypt passwords = yes

[test]
        comment = Test share on %L
        volume = TEST
        path = /home/samba/test
        writeable = Yes

[%U]
        volume = %U
        path = %H
        hide dot files = Yes

When I execute testparm, everything checks out and gives the following:
Load smb config files from smb.conf
Processing section "[test]"
Processing section "[%U]"
Loaded services file OK.
Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE

I am NOW trying to set up my drive shares on my W2k machine. This is the
wife's primary machine, plus it has some other tools (Visio, Access,
etc) that I use from time to time. I want to be able to swap files as
needed between the two machines. The problem is, when I attenpt to
create map a network drive from the W2k machine using the 'Map Netowrk
Drive' utility and I add in the path under [test], I get an error that
the network path cannot be found. (\\clyde\home\samba\test).

Upon more invesitgation, I do a check to see if the smbd deamon is
running. It isn't. The nmbd deamon is running, butr if I do either a ps
-aux or a top and search for smbd, the deamon is not showing up. If,
however, I run the smbclient utility, I get the following data:

 smbclient -U% -L localhost

        Sharename      Type      Comment
        ---------      ----      -------
        test           Disk      Test share on localhost
        guest          Disk      
        IPC$           IPC       IPC Service (Samba 3.0.0)
        ADMIN$         IPC       IPC Service (Samba 3.0.0)

        Server               Comment
        ---------            -------
        BADMONKEY            Samba 3.0.0

        Workgroup            Master
        ---------            -------
        PENGUINIX            

There are problems with this from what I can see:
1 - The SERVER is expected to be 'CLYDE', not 'BADMONKEY'
2 - There is no name for the Master.

Can any of you be patient and help me solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

It appears now that while poking about with swat, that what is happening
is that the smbd daemon is dieing as soon as it starts. Has anyone else
ever encountered this? If so, how did you resolve it?
