You probably want to use smbpasswd to set the "windows" password for the account. If you want a "GUI" to add users and maintian Samba, install webmin. I have a FC3 machine with Samba that I access regularly from XP Pro 2005. The samba passwords are stored in a different file than the unix passwords and are encrypted with a MD5 type hash by default. Hope this helps. You may also want to punch some holes in your firewall.
