I'm sure you've been swamped with replies, but here is another to add to
the list:

Samba does in fact support username mapping through (coincidentally
enough) the "username map" parameter, which you supply with a filename
which contains your mapping. See the man page for smb.conf or one of the
very good books about Samba (I've found "Using Samba" by Eckstein,
Collier-Brown, and Kelly and "Samba - Integrating UNIX and Windows" by
Blair both INCREDIBLY useful) for more info.
