[Samba] Using Linux to access files on Mac OS X

[Am Jam]

Hi Everyone, 

I have tried over the past several days, unsuccessfully, to have my Linux client access folders and files shared under Mac OS X server. 


Mac OS X Info: 
Version 10.9.5 
Username: AJames 
Hostname: bulbasaur 

Steps I took to share a directory: 
- System Preferences 
- Sharing 
- File Sharing 
- Add Shared Folders and let Everyone have Read Only access. 
- Under "Options" I have selected "Share files and folders using SMB" 


Linux Info: 
Linux beedrill 3.17.7-gentoo #1 SMP Mon Dec 29 01:20:27 2014 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 540 @ 2.53GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux 
Username: f_ 
Hostname: beedrill 
Samba 3.6.24 installed with the following USE flags: acl aio client cups netap pam readline server smbclient winbind 


/etc/samba/smb.conf:
[global] 
   workgroup = WORKGROUP 
   server string = Samba Server 
   security = user 
hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.0. 
   log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m 
   max log size = 50 
interfaces = lo eth0 enp0s25 wlan0 wlp2s0 
   dns proxy = no 
[homes] 
   comment = Home Directories 
   browseable = no 
   writable = yes 
[public] 
   comment = Public Stuff 
   path = /home/f/public 
   public = yes 
   writable = yes 
   printable = no 


/etc/hosts:

                \\BEEDRILL\public               Public Stuff 




Now, for the Error Messages: 
When I try to login from my Linux client I use the following command but get the following error: 
$ smbclient -L bulbasaur -U AJames 
Enter AJames's password: 
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE 


I made some edits to on my Mac OS X to /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.smbd.plist as written out here: http://web.stanford.edu/group/macosxsig/blog/2011/08/enable-logging-with-107-smbx-w.html 

So when I run 'syslog -w' on my Mac OS X I get the following while I try to connect unsuccessfully from my Linux client:

I'm really not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Is there something obvious I'm doing wrong? 
I have Googled extensivly for the past few days regarding this NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE error, but nothing I seem to fixes the problem.

Thanks in advance.
