Gday,
With out knowing the exact configuration, this is a pretty hard to answer.
but heres a clue, :)
It sounds like the samba and unix passwords are out of sync. (the default
for this is off)
have a look at "unix password sync", "passwd program", and "passwd chat" in
your smb.conf file.
Have Fun
John Rogers.
