Make sure you are using encrypted passwords. If I remember right the steps to do so are as follows:
1) add system accounts for your users to your samba machine 2) run 'mksmbpass' (I think thats the right name) to convert an existing passwd file for use with encrypted password samba 3) use smbpasswd to set the passwords for each account. That should do the trick.
