Ah yes, of course, there it was. Thanks!

Unfortunately that wasn't the source of my worries, I still can't use
samba. It just won't register that my account and username even
exists. I see stuff like:

check_ntlm_password:  Authentication for user [kimjas] -> [kimjas]
FAILED with error NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD
error packet at smbd/sesssetup.c(111) cmd=115 (SMBsesssetupX)
NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE

Oops, hang on, in debug this also popped up:

ntlm_password_check: NTLMv2 password check failed
ntlm_password_check: Lanman passwords NOT PERMITTED for user kimjas
ntlm_password_check: LM password, NT MD4 password in LM field and LMv2
failed for user kimjas

It appears to have something to do with authenticating... I know I've
entered the right password with smbpasswd, deleted the user, recreated
the user, the works. Tried smbpasswd as the database, tried without
having it specified at all, just no go.

I can't believe I've spent two evenings sweating over SAMBA of all
things. I guess there's a point where you cease to be persistent and
become downright pigheaded... two evenings is one point five too many
on something like this. Guess I'll have to find another way.
