You are in USER mode security. ie: Have a local /etc/passwd and smbpasswd
file. That is the default. The default applies because you have not set
(do not need it to get default behaviour):
	security = [SHARE | USER | SERVER | DOMAIN]

          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This means: Do not process username/password locally, but send it to the
machine named. The '*' means ask WINS or do broadcast to find the
authentication server. You do NOT want this unless security = [ SERVER |
DOMAIN ].

Please remove the:
	password server = *

Now this means you will use a local smbpasswd file. Did you add the user
'root' and every normal user to the smbpasswd file by doing:
	smbpasswd -a root
	smbpasswd -a 'username'

If not, you need to do that if you specify ecrypted passwords.
