It's picking up "nobody" because you have "map to guest = Bad User", and unless you specify "guest account = (something)", the default guest account is nobody. That means root is a bad user as far as samba is concerned. Let's backtrack... Have you been able to connect to the shares as root? Have you used the smbpasswd command to add root to the smbpasswd file?

It just ignores it and defaults to security = user. (Which is what I would have recommended anyway.) One other possibility is that the password being supplied is not validating properly, either because of a typo, or whatever, and the "map to bad user" is taking affect. Try setting your log level to 1 (or higher) and kill -1 all your smbd instances (killall -1 smbd should do it). Then try it again, and see what shows up in your log file. You'll also have to add a "log file = /var/log/samba.%m" parameter to smb.conf. The log file that shows up should be netbiosname.smbd. You should probably also change the netbios name parameter to a proper one with one node only, perhaps just "LINUXI".

Does testparm say this is okay? man smb.conf lists 4 valid settings: share, user, server, domain. I just checked swat, and it has a drop-down box with only those 4 settings. I'd start with security = user , and if that is too restrictive then drop to security = share.
