Two things immediately come to mind: 1. Make sure that you have created a user for the person logging in (both in Linux and Samba) 2. Make sure that the user that you created has linux access to the files. (If the files are -rw-rw---- and that users doesn't belong to the same group as the group on the file, samba will give an access denied.) The big 'kicker' when learning the basics of samba/linux interaction is that you always need to check the permissions on the base shared directory as well - I've found that linux permissions account for about 50% of the 'basic' samba problems that I've seen, and it's easy to overlook.
