I'm guessing that you're using the remaining Linux box either as a domain controller or otherwise using just the local passwd / smbpasswd files on that box for Samba authentication? When you reinstalled the 2nd linux box with FreeBSD, did you take care to copy the old MACHINE.SID to the newly installed system? If not, your samba server is probably treating the FreeBSD box as an impostor. Try deleting and recreating the machine account from scratch. However, this begs the question of why you are using Samba to share disks between two unix(oid) machines? NFS may well be a better solution in that case.
