have you commented out in your globals the lines: encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd or do you use another password-backend?? it they are still with the semicolon at the beginning, samba doesn't know where to authenticate your users. if you have done this, make sure, your users a created apporpriate in the /etc/smbpasswd file AND existing in /etc/passwd too..
