[Samba] samba and mac clients

On my network, when a mac client tries to access a windows share, they
are presented with a dialog box, prompting them for the share to connect
and then the authentication credentials.
 
However, when a mac client tires to connect to a samba share, it
immediately receive a dialog box with the error: "Could not connect to
the sever because the name or password is not correct.".  

Does anyone know which smb.conf settings effect this behavior?

On the samba logs, I don't see any messages, so the mac is not even
trying to authenticate. From server: Mac_client=192.168.60.208; tcpdump
