Samba problems...v2.2.8a

[Ralph M. Los]

Hi again,
	I've got a problem with Samba this time.  I can't seem to get it
to allow me to map drives, on a normal basis.  I seem to be able to get
things working - but...once my workstation reboots, I get errors about
password or username is invalid.  There is nothing in the log file(s),
and nothing seems to work.  Once I synch my password to my windows
password, everything is fine again (smbpasswd feature).
	I'm trying to make my Samba server either (a) independent of my
Windows box, or (b) completely tied into my Windows Active Directory
auth scheme...which I'd like to get away from.  Can someone help me out?
Pasting my smb.conf file below for reference, in case it makes sense to
anyone.  For what it's worth - I'm trying to completely migrate the
entire server infrastructure AWAY from Windows...to a totally
FreeBSD/Samba/etc network.

<smb.conf file>
