David, Not that I am aware of by default in Debian. RedHat, however, installs ipchains (7.2) and iptables (7.3) which do have default rules to block inbound netbios.
A few other things to check then: do you have the following entriess in smb.conf? [global] encrypt passwords = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd How are you planning on authenticating the users, through an NT PDC or on a per user basis? If on a per user basis, have you added the accounts with smbpasswd -a "username" ?

Other machines on the network can get to the web server. Is there a default rule that doesn't allow access on a samba share without modification?
