I posted about this this morning, then resolved it on my own.  Here's what
worked for me:

In smb.conf

[global]
  ...your settings
  encrypt passwords = Yes
  update encrypted = Yes

Then add accounts using smbpasswd -a as root.  (This is important; encrypted
passwords and straight unix user authorization don't mix.)
