You have to make sure that a unix account and a smbpasswd account with
the _same_ name is setup correctly, or setup a "map user table", which
do a "translation" between WindowUserName and UnixUserName.

Than, insiede the share definition, do not use "force user".

If this isn't the solution, you have to make your samba verbose to the
syslog or logfiles, and check for a complete authentication with a w9x
client.

It is very helpful, if you check your setup with "testparm" and
validate this values against "man smb.conf". It takes a little bit of
time, but you get an idea, how samba can setup. The testparm check the
whole smb.conf _and_ write _all_ variables to stdout, not only the
configure in the conf file, also those, which are setup via internal
default.
