Thanks. I was able to remove everything and reinstall. I think it
worked. I can use swat to configure everything, and I can connect to
the server using smbclient.

I still have a problem. I have two Macs on this network (OS X
10.4). Clicking 'Network' in the Finder shows the server. Clicking
'Connect', which usually shows the list of available shares and
mounts the one selected, crashes the Finder every single time. I
think this must be something wrong with the Finder, since I'm now
getting the same errors when trying to connect to another Samba
server which I used to use with no issues at all. (I recently
upgraded from 10.3 to 10.4, so I'm now thinking that's the issue.)

Here's a snippet of /var/log/samba/log.alex. (The client machine
trying to connect is 'alex').
[2005/10/01 14:42:59, 0] rpc_parse/parse_prs.c:prs_mem_get(537)
prs_mem_get: reading data of size 2 would overrun buffer.

alex (192.168.0.102) connect to service tmp initially as user alex
(uid=1000,
gid=1000) (pid 30907)
[2005/10/01 15:19:16, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(830)
alex (192.168.0.102) closed connection to service tmp

That last entry is a successful connection using 'smbclient' from the
command line. The rest of the failure messages seem to be the
Finder's fault. There's a lot more of this, but it seems to be the
same messages over and over. I don't know what to make of this...
Look familiar to anyone?

thanks,
alex
