What flavor of Linux are you running? Sometimes, you have to put
something in smb.conf indicating that the MS box has to use client side

Windows box main user have an account, both regular and smbpasswd on the
Linux box?

Buffy: Okay. What do I want?
Angel: To kill 'em. To kill 'em all.
Buffy: Sorry, that's incorrect. But, you do get this watch and a
year's supply of turtle wax. What I want is to be left alone.
