I have opened my firewall to samba just to see if this makes a
difference.  It doesn't.

I tried:

]# smbtree
Enter bill's password: 
[root CASE bill]# 

In other words, I got nada, nothing, zilch.

Right now I have only one other machine connected to my LAN.  Machine #1
(the one I use) is a dual boot machine with WindowsXP and Fedora 12.
Machine #2 has been reformatted to remove WindowsXP and now only has
Fedora 12 partitions.  Neither Machine #1 nor Machine #2 have Samba
installed.

I double checked both machines with:

]$ rpm -qi samba
package samba is not installed 

Just to be sure I did:
]$ service --status-all
No samba, smb, smb* or the like

I then looked for all samba files

]$ locate samba
/etc/samba
/etc/samba/lmhosts
/etc/samba/smb.conf
/etc/sysconfig/samba
...
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sos/plugins/samba*
...
/usr/lib64/samba/*
...
the rest (...) of the samba files 'locate' found are docs and graphics
-----------------------------------


/etc/samba/lmhosts only contains the the loopback: '127.0.0.1 localhost'

/etc/samba/smb.conf has a few open lines mainly about remote printers;
maybe some should be commented out.  ????

/etc/sysconfig/samba contains:

# Options to smbd
SMBDOPTIONS="-D"
# Options to nmbd
NMBDOPTIONS="-D"
# Options for winbindd
WINBINDOPTIONS="" 

which is all Greek to me.

If there is a "ghost" it has to be in these files somewhere I would
think.

N.B.  Since originally posting this message on gnome users list I have
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=554236

But if you have sense of what is happening, or can warn me about
something stupid I might be doing, please let me know !!!
