[Samba] Authentication problem with Mysql backend

[Rodrigo De la Pena]

i'm using samba-3.0.20b, 

"did you create the unix user-account aswell ??"
do i have to create the accounts in the OS to use them with mysql? 
i create the account "rodelapena" whith its passwd and it failed by
NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME, in theory the authentication worked, but it
wont be necessary to create an OS account to could use it in mysql, am i
wrong??.

i made the changes to the smb.conf that you suggested me before the
creation of the OS account and authentication failed again. 

thanks.
