Have an odd one here. I'm getting a "protocol negotiation failed" error when I try to connect to the server. This was working fine until a recent emerge world.

I found other references to the error, but nothing seems to fit my situation...

Here's the smb.conf file:
Code:

[global]
         workgroup = O2S
         encrypt passwords = yes
         unix password sync = yes
         null passwords = yes
        force user = public
        force group = users
        case sensitive = no
        msdfs proxy = no
        read only = no
        guest ok = yes
        path = /home/share
        public = yes
        writable = yes
        comment = common share
         security = share

 [share]
        force user = public
        force group = users
        case sensitive = no
        msdfs proxy = no
        read only = no
        guest ok = yes
        path = /home/share
        public = yes
        writable = yes
        comment = common share


and here's the command being executed to map to the share:

Code:

smbmount "\\\\hive\share" /home/sgrover/share -o passwd=


This command is a little oddball to begin with - it refused to work without a password setting, even though guest access is allowed. Do I have an error in my mounting command? or is the problem with my smb.conf? I'm not seeing anything that looks wrong, but I'm not really a samba expert either...

oh, using "smbclient -L hive" fails with the same error...

I just finished re-emerging and restarting the services, but nothing changed. I even ran the recommended pbedit command in /usr/share/samba*/README.gentoo.gz

Thanks for any help.
