hello again,
yes i am using the user-level security.
after following your suggestions, i still wasn't able to connect, then
i thought about my firewall settings and turned the firewall off on the
linux machine. now i am able to connect to the server with smbclient
through the terminal on os x. however, when i try to connect through
the finder (go -> connect to server), i manage to connect to the
server, i get a username/password screen, and when i put the user's
password in, i get an authentication error.
i am using the smpasswd for creating the
users, and they work fine through the terminal. i am pretty sure os x
should be able to connect to the server directly, but i am not sure
where i am making a mistake.
thanks again.
cheers,
taylan

Can
you tell us what security method you are using? It would help if you
listed the steps you used to add users and configure your shares. SMB is cool but it's pretty
complex. Most likely you will be using user-level security (default),
but if you are in a Windows NT4 or Active Domain environment you'll be
trying to use domain or ADS security.
I'm going to assume you are using user-level security and
that you've added the user using the smbpasswd command.
First,
try connecting with any valid user name in your smbpasswd file using
the -U switch instead of just connecting through the secure shell:
smbclient -L localhost -U [username]
If
the user is in the smbpasswd file you should get the listing of shares
along with private directories for the user. Also check that the shares
are world-readable as specified in smb.conf (i.e. read or
writeable = yes) and permissions for the share are 0777 or 0766. Restrict access after you've
got authorization working.
From
your Mac, open the terminal and connect through the command line:
smbclient //[host]/[share]
