Happy to help. I'm glad you got it working.

In the interest of completeness, please note that the neccessity of having
matching usernames and passwords for the linux and windows users only
applies to 'Services for Unix 3.5' running on Windows XP in Workgroup mode.
There appears to be a bug in the 'User Name Mapping' component of SFU that
causes it to fail to map disimilar user accounts in that scenario. Running
UNM on a Windows domain controller works properly and can map any linux user
to any windows user.
