I am rather at a loss as things seem to change by themselves on this
Vista machine.
Here's the setup: Vista client, FreeBSD 6.2 server with samba 3.0.25;
also a FreeBSD 4.11 machine (server) with samba 2.2.12
Vista connected to samba 3 with password and the machines were present
on the network. Then the machines would not show up on Vista at all;
they could be pinged and they could be mounted on Vista.
Then I started up the older machine (4.11 FBSD) and the network shows up
on Vista. But I cannot log in to samba3.
From Vista, net view \\6.2server returns - System error 5 has occurred.
Access is denied.
on 6.2server, the log shows: lib/util_sock.c:read_data(534)
read_data: read failure for 4 bytes to client 192.168.0.50. Error =
Connection reset by peer
Also this in the log: smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum (928)
Can't become connected user!
If I shut down the 4.11server, Vista does not see the network. I do not
know if there could be a problem with using the 6.2 and the 4.11 servers
as wins servers - could there be a conflict? do I even need a wins server?
I am using passwords and security=user on 6.2server. On 4.11server it is
security=share and I have no problems with that machine.
I can mount the Vista directories on the 6.2server and the password
works in the direction 6.2server to Vista.
I did cat rc.conf > /mnt/tmp/rc.conf.txt and copied the file as below:

and here is smb.conf (some of it has been commented out and there is
some stuff that probably isn't even needed - but nothing seems to affect
the login - user and password do not work):

I can post whatever may be necessary to clear this up. Thanks in advance.
I would really appreciate some help. I have checked the Web and have
found much on installation but none of it seems to work for me. Most
likely I am not seeing something that must be obvious to the experienced
mind.
