True, the /etc/passwd version is a different thing than the samba
account. I tried with the /etc/passwd version first and then when that
did not work I tried adding the root account to samba with 
"smbpasswd -a
root"

So both accounts gave this error.

I'm still trying different things, but right now any help would be
apreciated!

Thanks again,
