When the passwords are sent encrypted, you can no longer use the unix
password database (i.e. /etc/passwd usually). (And maybe even this is
wrong if you configure pam correctly, don't know). 

You need to create an entry for every Samba-User in smbpasswd
(/etc/samba/smbpasswd at my server) using /usr/bin/smbpasswd either as
root or the respective user. Then "encrypt passwords = yes" in smb.conf,
and all should work.

I never used security=share, however.
