The plot thickens. I set selinux to permissive, and was able to log in
from the windows VM. Next, I set up a new CentOS5.2 VM, and got samba
going on it. Then I updated everything but the samba and selinux policy
packages and everything still worked. Finally, I added the samba and
selinux packages, and everything worked as it should. I have no idea
what set of circumstances led to the original failure. I guess I'll
just have to reinstall Centos on the real iron.
