The command smbclient -L spike-home (the name of my samba server)
produces the following (after finding that entering no password works):
Password:

SPIKENET SPIKE-HOME
This is consistent with nmbd.log, which just has:
[2003/10/09 14:09:51, 0] nmbd/nmbd.c:main(665)
Netbios nameserver version 3.0.0-15 started.

So my Samba server is indeed the master browser. I did create samba
passwords (supposedly) for root and my regular ID, but they don't seem
to work in this case.
They do work if I want to access a share directly though. Still can't
browse either.
Curious...
Cheers,
Chris
