Thanks, I did find that and was on track there, but what I didn't know
was that you need security = domain (my config file was initially
basically the sample with a few things edited out and shares added)
and had security = user.

The weird thing is that that exact conf (I copied it across verbatim)
worked just fine with the Samba that came with OpenSolaris 134. I did
nothing to the client(s) that run Win 7 to get it working then, and I
did set the Win 7 box to force NTML only using secpol.msc and still
got those refusals.

I'm using the ZFS CIFS approach instead, which leaves me with some ACL
issues in my ZFS filesystems to work out instead apparently, but at
least there were no issues with getting that to work, just enabled the
smb service(s) again and ran the usual zfs commands.

I've given up on Samba, two evenings is way too much to spend on such
a trivial issue when I have a working option. Thanks, though!
