Hi. I am trying to get Samba (v1.8.05) running on FreeBSD (1.1.0)

There are two problems I have run into.
First, PC client browser requests spawn off an infinite number of
"nmbd" (netbios name daemons) filling up the process table.

Second, while I can get the browse to work (Unix -> PC) I cannot
mount drives (authorization error).

Third, I cannot get the PC to see the exports of the Unix box.

Any help would be appreciated.
