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. Dave
