You must connect each new user to a different netBIOS name for the 
server. This is a limitation of NT not samba. The error you get in
english is "The credentials supplied conflict with an existing set
of credentials." If you only want 2 users the second can always
connect to \\<IP address of machine>\<share name> instead of
\\<netbios name of machine>\<share name>

You could set up multiple netBIOS names using "netbios alias" 
parameter in smb.conf
