I read the how-to at:
http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/tips/Samba-Tips/Samba-Tips.html

Situation:
3 machine LAN, 2 NT 4.0 machines, one with Linux Red Hat 6.1
I am trying to use Samba to map shares on my Linux machine to drives on
my NT machines. Here is what I have done so far. The problem is that my
Linux shares do not show up under network neighborhood. Also, I cannot
smbmount my NT shares on the Linux machine.

I am using a workgroup called MONSTERLAND. The Linux machine is RODAN,
the NT machines are GODZILLA and MOTHRA.  Here is what I have done so
far on the Linux machine:

1. Edited /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb so that it starts nmdb with:
daemon nmdb -D -G MONSTERLAND

I created a group called pcusers on the Linux machine, which includes
the Linux users Administrator and chris. Created a directory called
/export/pcusers

2. Edited /etc/smb.conf as follows:
[global]
workgroup = MONSTERLAND
nebtios name = RODAN
server string = Rodan Samba: %v
security = user

[pcusers]
comment = foo
path=/export/pcusers
writeable=yes
valid users = @pcusers
locking=yes
create mode = 0660
directory mode = 0770

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
public = yes
path = %H
writeable = yes
valid users = %S
create mode = 0600
directory mode = 0700
locking = no
browseable=yes


3. I ran linuxconf so that smb and nmbd are started at boot time. I can
see them running when I run ps -aef

When I run smbclient -L rodan -U Administrator I get:
Added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0
Password:
Domain=[MONSTERLAND] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.0.5a]

        Sharename      Type      Comment
        ---------      ----      -------
        pcusers        Disk      pcusers Share
        homes          Disk      Home Directories
        IPC$           IPC       IPC Service (Rodan Samba: 2.0.5a)
        lp             Printer
        Administrator  Disk      Home Directories

        Server               Comment
        ---------            -------
        GODZILLA
        RODAN                Rodan Samba: 2.0.5a

        Workgroup            Master
        ---------            -------
        MONSTERLAND          RODAN


I created a directory called /win/Godzilla/E but when I run smbmount
as shown below, I get the indicated errors:

smbmount //GODZILLA/E /win/Godzilla/E
Added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0
smbmnt must be installed suid root
mount failed


Are there any ideas what I am doing wrong??
Any help/pointers appreciated
