I don't have anything that would bind to the nmbd or smbd ports that I know of - I'm not running portsentry at this time. Anyone know why this is happening? I found the issue with the /root/tmp error. /etc/profile sets $HOME/tmp as your $TMPPATH. When you start samba, it inherits this $TMPPATH variable. To resolve the issue, I temporarily set TMPPATH=/tmp and restarted samba, it worked like a charm. Woody

The issue (you'll find by tailing the smb logs) is that samba is trying to use /root/tmp as a connection path. It get s a FS permission denied and passes that on. IT can't write to the file system. Why it's trying to use /root/tmp, I have no idea. Woody
