I had the same authentication error. This fixed it for me. Make sure that 
you run the following as "root":

cat "/etc/passwd" | mksmbpasswd.sh > /etc/samba/smbpasswd

You will need to restart Samba so that it uses this file. I just rebooted 
to make sure things were restarted properly.

You will then need to update it to have your password. You can do this
by running the following command:

smbpasswd -u [USERNAME]

I was then able to mount the SMB Linux share on a Windows 2000 box.
