Hi Tim and lewiz~
Thanks for these ideas.  They definitely helped, and have alleviated
some of the problem.  I can now do 'smbpasswd' without an error.  But
I'm still getting a non-LDAP auth. error; see below:
=====
[gandalf] ~# smbpasswd -a linuxbox
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
Password changed for user linuxbox.
[gandalf] ~# smbclient -L gandalf -U linuxbox
added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0
can't determine netmask for 192.168.1.1
Password:
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
=====
As you can see, something is wacky with the IP interface. 192.168.1.1
is the IP of my router/gateway (Linksys router)  The FBSD box (gandalf)
is 192.168.1.102.  When I try to connect to the IP itself instead of
the hostname, it times out:
=====
[gandalf] ~# smbclient -L 192.18.1.102 -U linuxbox
added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0
can't determine netmask for 192.168.1.1
  <... delay ...>
timeout connecting to 192.18.1.102:139
Error connecting to 192.18.1.102 (Operation already in progress)
Connection to 192.18.1.102 failed
=====
Yet the box is (I think) properly connected to the Internet; in fact,
I'm performing these commands from work via ssh.  Here's what ifconfig
says:
=====
[gandalf] ~# ifconfig -a
dc0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet6 fe80::800:aff:fe00:a00%dc0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
        inet 192.168.1.102 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
        ether 0a:00:0a:00:0a:00
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active
lp0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
        inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
        inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
=====
Any ideas???
Thanks very much,
~John
