Password encryption is the problem. I have found two choices. 1)
Configure samba for plain text passwords and enter the M$Win registry hack
to enable plain text passwords in LanMAN. If you can't find it, I can send
it to you. Be forewarned the passwords are transmitted in plain text. 2)
Figure out to get the password encryption to work. When you do, please let
me know.

Have you created Samba users using the smbpasswd utility? Even if the Unix
users exist, you won't authenticate until samba users are configured.
Does the Unix user have access to the share on the Unix side? I.e., check
that
the permissions allow the unix user to see inside.
