Thanks Jason.
I do not think the problem is with /etc/samba/smbd.conf which has started out
very simple, as shown below. It is something else totally obvious ..but only in
hindsight.
SWAT is supposed to make it easier to configure smbd.conf. The problem is, it
appears to be more difficult to install and set up SWAT than it is to configure
smbd.conf.
smbd.conf:
[global]
dns proxy = no
server string = Samba Server
security = share
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
workgroup = WORKGROUP
[home]
comment = Home
path = /home
public = yes
writable = no
printable = no
[tmp]
comment = Temporary file space
path = /tmp
read only = no
public = yes
