You should not use the root acctount to access samba shares. Its a very
bad idea. Any true Unix administrator knows not to freely use root over an
insecure network.
There is a configuration directive for Samba that goes into the [global]
section.
invalid users=root
which disables root access. Im not sure if thats a default setting.
It probably is.
Hope this helps,
