Samba screwed up

Group;

I have a Red Hat 7.3 server running samba successfully for years. I wanted
to add a NFS mount for a new Linux Fedora 1 workstation to logon to, and in
the process I now can't log on to my user account.

The kernel is version 2.4.20-28.7. My Windows (samba) user account was
Doug. My NFS account was to be doug. Now when I look at the server my XP
Pro workstation sees a share called doug and I can't log on to my /home
share Doug.

Where do I start unraveling this mess?

I read the man page and set up a hosts.allow and hosts.deny; I removed the
data from these files. I have no mount point is fstab. I have nothing in
exports. I have read the messages log and see something about my attempts
but don't understand what I am looking at

Thanks for any direction.

If you have other linux stations apart from the server, you should try to
see if you can login from these stations.

You can test it with smbclient (perhaps on the server itself)
You should use -U option to specify your login name (doud)

smbclient //SERVER/home -U doud

where SERVER is your linux server

and you should get a ftp-like shell.

Try to see what happens to log files during these operations (tail
-f /var/log/messages using a different tty shell ALT+F2 for example)
and report them if you have problems.

It seems like an authentication problem...
