[Samba] home directory password problem

[manish mukherjee]

Hi all,

I just setup samba 3 on centos 5.5, and i'm having some problems with usernames/passwords.  I'm unable to login to my home directory with my username and password.

1. I've done smbpasswd -a to add the username
2. I've done smbpasswd -e to enable the username
3. The unix username and windows username are both manishie
4. The /home/manishie directory permissions are: "drwxr-xr-x  4 manishie manishie"

I can successfully access file or printer shares with the "guest ok = yes" flag.  I cannot login from either windows 7 or from os x to the home directory share, because the password is not accepted.  my smb.conf follows.  Any ideas?

Thanks!
