Claude, I've been watching this thread because I've wrestled with samba so 
often and been told that there is no problem, it must be me :-)  Here's my 
suggestion.  Delete these lines from the Fedora version:

        ldap ssl = No
        restrict anonymous = no
        wins support = true
        max protocol = NT
        default service = global
        acl compatibility =
        server signing = Auto

You don't need them, and on one installation at least I remember that the last 
line there was the cause of my problems.

Copy the contents of /etc/hosts into /etc/samba/lmhosts, re-start samba, leave 
it a while, then try again.

FWIW, a while back I had a thread on the CentOS list about being unable to get 
user mode working, and I found, as you did, that even after re-starting samba 
it still didn't work - but then did a while later.  I've never heard a 
convincing argument as to why that should be so.  HTH
