I had already tried that as well, but with no success. Even after many re-reads I admit to a complete lack of understanding as to what 'server max/min ..' and 'client max/min ..' are actually doing. If I squint with one eye, it looks like client impacts the operation of smbclient on the local machine, but your statement implies something quite different. As I said, no combination of these settings helped.> I would also suggest you find a away of moving from DOS, at some point > it is highly likely that the old auth methods will be removed.That will be the point when I stop updating my server. I understand the march of progress, but it is not practical for me to get caught up in it at the expense of losing network connectivity from my shop computers. But! I finally solved the problem. After removing everything samba related from the platform, I spent an hour or two unsuccessfully trying to build an older version from source. When that threatened to lead me into dependency hell, I gave up and reinstalled the original samba. After restart, it began to cooperate using my original configuration! Nothing like this sort of thing to make one doubt one's own sanity. Upon digging a bit deeper, I _suspect_ the sudden cooperation is due to my not reinstalling everything (e.g. winbind) that was there from the original Ubuntu roster. I'm not about to verify this theory by trying to break anything again and am just thankful to have functionality back. Thanks to those who chimed in and tried to help! --
