[Samba] need help with samba server

[Allen Smith]

Hello fellow samba users, I'm trying to setup my samba server on my linux 
box, went through the installation and stuff, but ran into a whole world of 
problems when testing it out (samba2.2.8).  As I'm reading through the 
DIAGNOSIS.txt file included in the docs, I got stuck on Test 7.  when I run 
"smbclient //bigserver/tmp" I get prompted with a password.  when I type in 
my root password (I'm doing all this in root) I get a message saying 
"session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE" . Then I tried with 
"smbclient //bigserver/tmp -Ufred" and typed in the password for fred, I 
still get the same error.  Also I can get to public,"smbclient 
//bigserver/public" if I don't enter any password, but when I try with 
-Ufred and enter the password I get the same error.

my smb.conf
