We are not using a WAN for the Samba connections, so thank you, I will take those setting out of the file. Why do I need to add the users to the smbpasswd file?

Try to leave them out and if you have a wins server add: wins server = <wins server ip address> You only need the remote stuff if you are on a WAN. If you are this would have been nice to know ;-) If you are on a WAN make sure the above remote-IPs have really been elected as browsers in the remote network. And no, you don't need winbind if you already have unix users (or NIS users).
