OK, if I remove all the default lines, I am left with this:

[global]
template shell=/bin/bash
log file=/var/log/samba/log.%m
log level=8
load printers=no
printing=bsd
printcap name=/dev/null
map to guest=bad user

[2430_ram]
path=/data/fs/2430-ram
create mask=0775
directory mask=0775
read only=no
valid users=man_dude

And you can probably remove 'map to guest=bad user' as well, because
you do not have 'guest ok = yes' in the share.

You could probably remove 'template shell=/bin/bash' as well, it isn't
needed, your Unix has it own shell.

From your smb.conf, you are running samba as a standalone server, is
this what you require ?
If it is, have you added the Unix users as Samba users ?
