ok I did all that and I got the following message:

ERRSRV - ERRaccess opening remote file \WPSLOAD.LOG

nothing is recorded in /var/log/samba/log.smb and the following message is 
recorded in the /var/log/messages:

... bucka PAM_pwdb[1013]: authentication failure; (uid=0) -> smbuser for 
samba service
