I eventually solved this as follows. 1. Uninstall samba completely including configs: the following packages: samba samba-doc samba-common samba-common-bin libwbclient0 swat smbclient libsmbclient webmin and their dependencies. 2. Check samba directories /var/lib/samba and /etc/samba don't exist any more. 3. Reboot 4. Install packages: samba samba-common samba-common-bin libwbclient0 smbclient 5. List users with pdbedit. (the installation, trying to be smart, had added 4 users). Tried: smbclient -L lyra and responding with my password, still didn't work, but produced an error message instead of timing out. I googled for it and found somebody else had had the same problem and fixed it by deleting the users which installation had added with pdbedit, and re-creating them with smbpasswd -a. 6. Delete the users found in step 5 with pdbedit, and add the users needed with smbpasswd. Then everything works. This is an old installation of Samba, going back to lenny, and I conclude that the upgrades didn't do exactly what they should have. The clean install should not be different from an upgraded install but it clearly was.
