The problem could be caused by a large number of possible factors.
Send me the output of: testparm -s
Also, have you followed the Samba documentation? The best document for
comparing your configuration with the official recommendations is the book
"Samba-3 by Exampe" available from Amazon.Com or by downloading from:
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf
This book is currently being updated. All my test work is done with SLES 9.
