On a related note.  We just upgrade one of our servers from Windows 
2000 server to Windows 2003 server.  With Win2k, I was able to connect 
from Linux using smbclient and smbmount.  With Win2003, I am not.  From 
what I hear, all the Windows machines can connect to the Win2003 server 
just fine.  And the Windows machine can connect just fine to our Linux 
machines that run Samba.  The Linux machines are running Red Hat 9 with 
samba-client-2.2.7a-7.9.0.  BTW, the same problem happens under Mac 
OS/X using sbmclient v2.2.3a (build 26).

Here's a sample of samba connecting from Linux to Windows 2000:

$ smbclient -L maul -W foo -U rwcitek
added interface ip=10.4.0.40 bcast=10.4.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Password:
Domain=[FOO] OS=[Windows 5.0] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]

Here's a sample of samba connecting to Windows 2003:
$ smbclient -L vader -W foo -U rwcitek
added interface ip=10.4.0.40 bcast=10.4.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Password:
Domain=[FOO] OS=[Windows Server 2003 3790] Server=[Windows Server 2003 
5.2]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

I've been googling using the error message but links I've found haven't 
dealt mostly with Windows machines connecting to Linux Samba servers.  
I'm going the other way.

So, a few questions:
  - any ideas where I should be looking?  Is this a Samba issue, a 
Windows issue, other?
  - any recommend readings for getting up-to-speed quickly on Win2003, 
especially debugging/log files?
  - other ideas/suggestions?

Still googling.
