first off, you don't need your [sharename] section at all..
the default smb.conf file that came with Redhat 9 should work
just fine :)
the ONLY reason you are unable to login to Windows Me.
is because your WinMe login name has to match the smb username.
you know, when you first bootup windows me, and the network userid
and
password it prompts you for? the userid (and maybe even the
password)
*MUST* be the same as your smb id and password.
if you have multiple users trying to login, you can use the
smbusers
file to say something like
bob = winmebob
jane = winmebob
I know this is your problem, because I had the exact same problem,
until I looked at RH 9's samba config application. it was then
that it dawned on me that "Linux username" = your username
and "windows username" = your winMe tcp/ip username (which
you use at bootup)
make sense???
like I said, this had me stumped for the longest time too until
today
when it finally dawned on me...:)

After reading docs several times I still can't get Windows ME
machines
to map to my Red Hat 9 Linux machine. I can connect from the
Linux
machine but not to it. I'm connected through an SMC firewall/router
and
have tried with the firewall shut down. I can ping the Linux
machine
from Windows but NBTSTAT -A does not recognize the Linux box.
My
smb.conf file is:
[global]
workgroup = mshome
server string = samba
hosts allow = 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
printing = lprng
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 0
security = user
include = /etc/samba/smb.conf.%m
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
interfaces = 192.168.2.1/40 192.168.3.2/40
remote browse sync = 192.168.2.1 192.168.5.255
remote announce = 192.168.1.255 192.168.2.44
dns proxy = no
#============================ Share Definitions
=============================[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = yes
writable = yes
valid users = %S
create mode = 0664
directory mode = 0775
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
guest ok = no
writable = no
printable = yes
[sharename]
comment = test comment by bob
path = /home/bob/
valid users = bob bobm142 mshome michael c325834-a workgroup
public = yes
writable = yes
printable = yes
create mask = 0765
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
