SMB/CIFS server configuration problems

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

I'm fairly new to Alfresco and have just installed the "Community Network - v2.1.0" package. I'm trying to get the CIFS server functionality to run. Server environment is Linux (Ubuntu 7.04), Tomcat 5.5; the basic, default installation works. As suggested here I'm trying to connect to the server with

smbclient -U admin \\\\127.0.0.1\\alfresco admin‍

(admin/admin is a valid login). This fails with

session request to LOCALHOST failed (RAP code 32)
session request to *SMBSERVER failed (RAP code 32)‍‍

In alfresco.log I see e.g.

22:59:13,852 DEBUG [org.alfresco.smb.protocol] TCP-SMB session request received from 127.0.0.1
22:59:13,853 DEBUG [org.alfresco.smb.protocol] Waiting for TCP-SMB session request …
22:59:13,854 DEBUG [org.alfresco.smb.protocol] Server session started‍‍‍

On startup I also get the following messages:

22:13:32,288 ERROR [org.alfresco.smb.protocol] Failed to get local domain/workgroup name, using default of WORKGROUP
22:13:32,288 ERROR [org.alfresco.smb.protocol] (This may be due to firewall settings or incorrect <broadcast> setting)

(the local computer name is "iwata"). In "file-servers.xml",  tcpipSMB is set to 1445. Tomcat is running as a non-privileged user.

Can someone give me some pointers as to where the problem might lie?

Aha, running Tomcat as a privileged user, and changing the port back to 445 seems to solve the problem.
