Thanks for your help.

I remember that apt-get asked if I wanted my smb.conf to be replaced. I 
said "no." Quick tkdiff between smb.conf and dist version shows that I 
miss these

  server role = standalone server
  map to guest = bad user
  usershare allow guests = yes

Of course, I will fix the second line and add all three and see what 
happens.
