[ALUG] Samba / Machintosh issue

[Stuart Bailey]

Hi ,
I have a customer with a small office network They are running debian on
their server, and have a mixture of macs and windows workstations.

The server is using samba to shared a number of network drives via SMB.
the Windows machines can see and browse all of the workgroup, and all
machines / shares within the workgroup.

The Macs show nothing when browsing the network, but can mount the
shares if the path is entered manually.
Also, if I go to the Mac console, smbstatus, smbtree, smbclient and
nmblookup all seem to produce the correct results.

The macs are not listed in the workgroup.

The Macs are running OSX 10.4.8.

Is this just a Mac issue, or do I need to configure something special in
Samba for this to work?
Apparently, it did work before all the machines were switched off for
Christmas.

I've now exhausted my knowledge of Macs - any help, direction etc would
be appreciated.

Many thanks,

Stuart.
