[wellylug] Setting up after system failure

[Lindsay Hunter]

smb requires user names and passwords to be the same for the usual 
reasons unless it is public, and both the subnet and workgroup need to 
match I think. 

/testparm/ is the command for samba to show its settings ( test 
parameters ?)  and /smbstatus/ both in Linux begins to tell you what is 
going on.

If those are sufficient, network services in Ubuntu should begin to show 
firstly the workgroup, then the Pcs, and finally the shared folders.
