Could you post a copy of your /etc/samba/smb.conf file, or post the full
output of [ testparm -v ], without the brackets, from the command line?
The -v option lists everything including defaults.
Try to connect your Mac user to samba using smbclient. I'm running
samba locally and can connect to samba from 192.168.1.109 using the
following command:
$ smbclient -L 192.168.1.78 --user=leland
After typing the above into a command line, I'm prompted for a
password. After entering the password, I can connect.
Make sure you have all necessary samba programs install on the Mac.
Make sure the Mac user has been properly added to the your Linux samba
server, and his samba password setup. The following link explains how:

Make sure the samba ports 137, 138, and 139 are not blocked by any
firewalls.
Make sure your smb.conf file give read/write permissions to the share,
(eg read only = no).

Thanks Christof.
"Default account"? I am not familiar with Macs, but the user is not
logging into his local machine with the domain user account I am
referring to. He has his own local account for the Mac. I don't see
how the Mac would automatically know his domain user account
credentials in order to connect to a network share. However, he is
clearly not connected to the share I want him to access.
The user can see all machines on the network.
The user can see all the share folders on the CentOS file server.
Sometimes the Mac indicates the user is connected to the file server
as "Guest", and sometimes it does not. Clearly there are bugs in this
interface. However, whether or not a successful connection is
indicated, the user has no access to the contents of the share I want
him to have. Being "allegedly" connected as "Guest" no longer confers
access since changes were made to the file server to disallow guest
access.
From the Network list, the Mac user can click on the share folder on
the server and press "Connect As..." and get a dialog to present his
credentials today (yesterday this wouldn't work). He can then enter
the domain user credentials to log into the share, but the Mac won't
accept them. The dialog box shakes back and forth and nothing happens.
As I mentioned, I know these credentials are correct because they
work for the internal email being served by the SAMBA 3 domain
controller.
It has been suggested that these problems may be due to bugs in SMB2.
If you have any further thoughts I would be most appreciative.
Thanks.
