It's all working now. Thanks for everyone's advice.
FYI, Password Encryption is off, changed the name of Tux400 to Supermule to
avoid the DNS name conflict. Found the w2k box had zonealarm on (Doh!).
Rebooting both boxes didn't hurt, either.
If I figure out how to turn on encryption, I'll let everyone know.
Thanks again.

Subject: Success!!!: [SLUG] Samba help for Linux Newbie
I've caught the flu and feeling pretty bad. Thanks for bearing with me...
Thanks to Patrick Grantham and everyone for the Pico suggestion. It looks
better than vi.
Samba:
I did the reg hack on W2K and changed smb.cfig for no password encryption.
Deleted the users, restarted Samba, and recreated the user. No Dice. W2k
is still denied access.
BUT! The Linux box can now use the W2K box's share. So, they are talking
fine, network-wise and smbclient-wise. You guys would beat me like a rented
mule if I settled for a Windows Server and a Linux Client...
On the Linux box, I can smbclient just fine. I can see the "ken" share and
"smb-share" share. So I guess smb is ok.
I'm NOT running DNS on the Linux box. I assumed I didn't need to.
The Linux box somehow knows the name of the W2K box, and the W2K box knows
the name of the Linux box. So the do see each other enough to identify each
other. It appears that I have a permission issue on the Linux box.
Getting close...<evil grin>

Did you test on the local box or across the network? I'm trying to check if
IPTABLES will pass the login but deny actual access. If you want to give it
a shot, try shutting down the Linux iptables (if it's running) temporarily
then try connecting again:
/sbin/service iptables stop
(not sure of the SuSE equivalent, but it'll be similar)
Also, Win2K will pass the currently logged in user. Generally you should
match the Windows login with the samba login. Try using "Connect as" instead
if it doesn't prompt for a password. If you have the Win2K set up for domain
authentication as its own client (I think this is possible) you may have to
modify a couple other things.

I'm not sure what you're asking here? You should still have access to the
same utilities and editors when you su over to root. It may be some sort of
X11 authorization issue. If this is the case, try:
(as normal user)
xhost + localhost
su
(enter root password)
start your editor of choice
