Jon,
I have had the same problems in the past. My solution was in realizing
that Samba uses a separate password file (which can be generated from the
passwd file with some script included with most Samba distro's) and
controlled with the 'smbpasswd' command. Try it and see if it works for
your setup. Also consider using a username map for Samba (refer to docs)
seeing as Windows doesn't care if you log in as "Joe User" and Linux likes
it "juser" and doesn't like spaces and stuff :)

P.S. Hello again everyone, I apologize for being silent and not showing up
for a while, but I have been busy with holidays and travelling and I don't
think that I can come to Feb meeting either :( but will try for March, PLUS
I am getting married in May so that as you can imagine is taking a small
amount of my time :) See you all soon!

Wayne, can you handle the table registration?
I'll be at TCF as a speaker on Sunday. I'll be available to spend a couple
of hours at the Linux table or to assist with a Linux presentation that
day. Just will need an hour or 90 minutes to check the vendors' tables,
cruising for hardware and software. (Alas, the legal notices on the
dumpsters are sufficient to deter dumpster diving for techno castoffs after
the show. It was nicer in the old days when the understanding was that the
TCF nor convention center were responsible for a dumpster diver's injuries.

Samba would be a great item to present because it show how we can have
different systems on a network coexisting, a great sweetener for Linux's
introduction into a home or an office. I am still trying to figure other
Samba at home. My Windows 98 SE system can now see the samba shared
directory on the Linux system via Network Neighborhood. The problem I am
encountering is that when I try to access the share directory, I get a
password prompt and it is not accepting the password I set up. My guess is
that it has to do with encrypted passwords. The Linux smb.conf is calling
for encrypted passwords.
