SMB/CIFS server configuration problems

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.
