[Samba] Can't add new users

Hi all,
I tried to add a new user to a Samba share, I did all the usual: made a Unix account on the Unix server for the user which was the same as the user's window's UID. Put her name as a valid user for that directory in server:/etc/opt/samba/smb.conf, and stopped and started server:/sbin/init.d/samba server; nothing worked.

Interesting observations: 1- After performing the steps described above, I do a "server# /opt/samba/bin/testparm" and don't even see the new user's name for that particular Samba share. 2- Samba is working fine for all the previously defined users in smb.conf.

Many thanks in advance and best regards.
