Have you created an smbpassword file with the users that are allowed to
access the user through Samba?

I just installed Samba for the first time.  Installed and setup like a
dream.  Unfortunately, I can't login to save my life.  The server appears in
the Net. Neighborhood, but when I double-click to login, the login window
give the following message:

Incorrect password or unknown username for \\SERVERNAME

Entering a username and password (from /etc/passwd) returns:

\\SERVERNAME is not accessible.  THe acouunt is not authorized ...

What am I doing wrong?  Here is my smb.conf file:

[global]netbios name = SERVERNAMEworkgroup = ITsecurity =
user[newshare]comment = if you can read this you are too closepath =
/usr/local/newshare
writeable = yesvalid users = @developerslocking = yescreate mode =
0664directory mode = 0775[devshare]comment = if you can read this you are

0700[homes]comment = home directories for developerspath = %Hwriteable =
