Don't know if this is all of your problem but 127.0.0.1 is your local
loopback. The interface address I would think should be the ip address of
your host. I think you need a entry in your /etc/hosts file for your
machine if you do not have one.

: 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

: smbmnt must be installed suid root
