Yout need smbpasswd account and the _same_ user in unix passwd.
If you want to use typical windows user names like "Hein Bl�d", than you
have to use the "username map (G)" to map those windows username to an
_existing_ unix user.

See manual page "man smb.conf", hjow to configure this.

  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

What tell's "ls -l /etc/samba/private/smbpasswd" ?

This file must be exist and readable by the unix user, who runs the
samba daemon (normaly root).
