Did you populate /etc/smbpasswd with SMB passwords for your users?
A lot of people assume that Samba will just use Linux's passwords
for authentication, but unfortunately the hashing protocols aren't
compatible, so that isn't practical.
You'll want to do "smbpasswd -a [username]" for each user, to add them
to /etc/smbpasswd .
Of course, your problem might be something else entirely, but I'm
mentioning it because it's a common pitfall.
