I have had problems with Samba since the Debian upgraded samba to 3.0.23c, the 
problem I had was that smbd refused to start. After reinstalling samba I 
found the problem lay in the smb.conf the new install would start, but if I 
used my old smb.conf (from my previous version of samba) it would not start 
smbd.

So the point is now, samba is running I have added my shares to smb.conf, when 
I try to connect to one of the shares from a windows box I get a login window 
but it refuse any username and password.

All my users have an account on the linux box, this was how it was set up in 
the past without a problem.

For the record I am running Debian testing, samba 3.0.23c (from debian), My 
windows boxes are XP Home and Pro and 2000

Below is my smb.conf (short version), can anybody offer any suggestions please

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 192.168.1.74 (192.168.1.74)
# Date: 2006/09/24 09:47:46
