I have not run into this; here is my entry from the inetd.conf file:
netbios-ns dgram udp wait root /usr/share/samba/nmbd \
nmbd -d1 -GHOMENET.NET -B126.255.255.255

I'm not sure that this should be a problem, unless of course you didn't
link in the crypt library.... The way that passwords get mutated is
pretty straight forward. I ended up creating a special user ID for
mounting all of the shares from the NetBSD PC. It has an all uppercase
name and a simple password that is not mixed case.

This would be a master browser problem. I have tried everything I can
think of to get it to work. If (when trying to mount the Unix shares) I
enter '//cynjut' the shares will appear as you would expect. The
problem I am having now (and I fully expect to be a problem until I have
an NT host running here) is that my hostname will not show up in the
list.
