Did you create a smbpasswd file?  Samba does not read the Linux passwd 
file, but has its own passwd file.  This does allow for you to have a 
different password for Samba than for Linux.  The Debian distribution has a 
program called mksmbpasswd that takes your Linux passwd file and converts 
it to the smbpasswd format.  Try 'man mksmbpasswd'.
