Thanks for the reply Harald, but I am afraid I don’t really understand. I am 
no expert in these matters, so I am not sure of the correct terminology.

You talk about 'disabling the shell'. Do you mean create a second account 
for the user, with no Unix password and no login, and use that for Samba?

I can see that that could work, but is it necessary? I am using a much later 
version of Samba (4.2.2) on Fedora 22, and that 'just works'. I have a user 
account that I can log into, and I can access the same home directory from 
Windows using Samba. Are you saying that there was a restriction in older 
versions of Samba that prevented you from doing that?
