What for the OUTPUT chain. Are you dropping all the packets completely on 
output chain, or not you allowing anything from output chain


I've got a standard setup where all samba clents are behind the
firewall/gateway, and NetBIOS ports are blocked from the outside world.
They are, however, open for the internal network to use, as one might
expect.

Trouble is, my firewall is evidently blocking the broadcast portion of the
Samba protocol.  By default, packets are dropped, but I've included this
"iptables -A INPUT -i $intdev -s $intnet -d 0.0.0.0/0 -j ACCEPT"  which I
thought would be sufficient to allow Samba to operate.

Can anyone provide some insight as to why I can't broadcast?

thanks,

JD.
