Well, well, well... now I'm feeling really stupid! I did _not_ set a password for the users on the Samba server! This happened because Webmin has a "Convert Unix users to Samba users" function. I simply thought this was a "magic" function that would also define the passwords for the Samba users, but it dons't (and now, as far as I understood, it couldn't even do that). I now set the passwords and everything is ok.
