OK in that case you are most likely using a smbpasswd file, or at least that
is what you should be using. You have to create it and add your users to it.

If you have a linux user named jdecaro then you can add a samba user by running
smbpasswd -a jdecaro. If you did not do that step then samba will not work.

If it still does not work, show your smb.conf and tell us again exactly what the
problem is. I think I remember but...

Also http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/ and/or
http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/ might be useful
to you.
