Thanks to everyone for the help re: browsing windows from linux.
My samba server, using nautilus, could see the other domain members
including pdc (nt). It couldn't see any of the shares on the pdc though. I
don't think it's an authentication problem. I followed O'Reilly's
instructions on page 171 of Using Samba and the prompts indicated that the
server was added to the domain successfully. The smb.conf seems OK and I can
browse samba from nt.
[global]
workgroup = LFRG-TLH
netbios name = HUMPHRY
server string = samba v% on (L%)
security = domain
encrypt passwords = yes
min password length = 0
null passwords = yes
password server = TLH-FILE-PRINT
guest ok = yes
unix password sync = yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd
domain logons = yes
[test]
path = /home/test
read only = no
guest ok = yes
[jmc]
comment = %U home directory
path = /home/jmc
read only = no
guest ok = yes
Any ideas??
Thanks

The protocol used by SAMBA and Microsoft Networking is called SMB -
Server Message Block. Older versions of SMB were hosted over NetBIOS
connections, including NetBIOS over IP (UDP 137/138 and TCP 139). Newer
versions of SMB are hosted natively over TCP 445.
The Common Internet Filesystem (CIFS) is Microsoft's attempt at
simplifying the SMB protocol enough for widespread Internet acceptance.
The easiest way to understand CIFS is to consider it a subset of SMB.
By "browse", I suppose you are referring to a GUI window whereby icons
are displayed that represent the neighbor SMB nodes. There are DOZENS of
these "Network Neighborhood" browsers in the OpenSource community now:
Nautilus (type "smb:" in your nautilus window, or
smb://user:password@servername/sharename/ to map a share)
Recent versions of Nautilus with the new gnome-vfs
Konquerer (type "lan:/" in your konquerer window)
KDE 2.2 or later

Heck, do a few searches on freshmeat and you'll uncover a dozen more.
I hope this helps.
