login as root ?

[Olaf Solutions]

You should not use the root acctount to access samba shares. Its a very
bad idea. Any true Unix administrator knows not to freely use root over an
insecure network. 

There is a configuration directive for Samba that goes into the [global]
section. 
 
 invalid users=root

which disables root access. Im not sure if thats a default setting.
It probably is. 

Hope this helps,
