When I run "smbclient -L localhost -U%" I get the following:

Server Comment

Workgroup Master

I would expect the workgroup name and server name to be listed.
findsmb reports Samba servers on other systems, but not localhost.
I've tried with "security = share" and without the "wins" line.
I've also tried a working smb.conf from a FC 5 system.
I created a user with smbpasswd. None of this makes any difference.
I noticed that nmbd is started by /etc/init.d/smb on the FC 5
system, but that F8 doesn't. Not sure what that means.
Any suggestions?

shouldn't that be
security = user
?
smbclient -L $HOSTNAME
where $HOSTNAME is the name of your computer though localhost or ip
should work. You don't need to authenticate (a user)
what errors do you get when you do...
testparm -s

findsmb reports Samba servers on other systems, but not localhost.
I've tried with "security = share" and without the "wins" line.
I've also tried a working smb.conf from a FC 5 system.
I created a user with smbpasswd. None of this makes any difference.
I noticed that nmbd is started by /etc/init.d/smb on the FC 5

Yes, fixed it. Doesn't make any difference.
?
smbclient -L $HOSTNAME
where $HOSTNAME is the name of your computer though localhost or ip
should work. You don't need to authenticate (a user)
See above.
what errors do you get when you do...
testparm -s
None (after correcting the typo).
Apparently, another typo seems to be the problem:
"readonly" should be "read only". system-config-samba
complained about it where testparm didn't.
Thanks for the help!

Apparently, this is the clue, not typos in the smb.conf.
system-config-samba starts nmbd. /etc/init.d/smb doesn't
start nmbd in F8. I need to do "chkconfig nmb on".
