	My hunch is that the user doesn't have an entry in
/usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd. To add the user, log in as that suer
and "smbpasswd". or, you can add the user as root too..

	Note that, at least last that I knew, samba userss also have to
have an entry in /etc/passwd to work, though I think their sell can be
/bin/false if you wish.


	Hunch aside, what shows up in your "log.smbd" when you try logging
into the NT box?
