[Samba] Request For Help With Samba Connectivity

[John Benedetto]

When you post your smb.conf, it is nice to DELETE ANY COMMENTS, to save on 
bandwith...

That said, you don't say that you have added the users to your smbpassword 
file.  Do a man smbpasswd for more details.

Oh, and it can be confusing, but there are two things we're talking about 
here... there is the smbpasswd command, which puts entries into the 
smbpasswd file.  There are a number of useful docs that shipped with your 
Samba distro; you may want to check them out if you have not already done 
so...
