samba - Jul 2003 - Newbie Failure to connect

I'm trying to set up a samba box at home to centralize my family's
storage
into one place.

Every time I try to connect to the box I get an incorrect user name or 
password dialog and it doesn't matter what I put in but it won't let me 
connect. In the log files every time I connect I see something like 
(repeated several times)...

[2003/07/05 13:20:11, 0] lib/debug.c:reopen_logs(348)
   Unable to open new log file /var/log/log.smbd: No such file or directory

[2003/07/05 13:20:11, 0] passdb/pdb_smbpasswd.c:pdb_getsampwnam(1369)
   unable to open passdb database.

Of course this is logged in /var/log/log.smbd so I'm sure how it can't
open
it... and /etc/samba/private/smbpasswd does exist and contains the 
following (on one line):

samba:1000:NO PASSWORDXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:[UN         ]:LCT-3F06FD70:

Any ideas would be appreciated...

P.S. I have a few share sections that are all like so...

[Matt]
         comment = Matt's Stuff
         volume = matt
         path = /samba/Matt

And my global section looks like (I have tried both security=share and 
security=user) ...

[global]
         smb passwd file = /etc/samba/private/smbpasswd
         socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=819
         bind interfaces only = no

         netbios name = wally
         root directory = /samba
         workgroup = DNRC
         wins support = true
         dns proxy = no
         max log size = 50

         security = share
         os level = 36
         encrypt passwords = yes
         null passwords = yes
         browseable = yes
         writeable = yes

         guest account = samba
         guest ok = yes
         guest only = yes
         force group = users
         force user = samba

         domain master = yes
         local master = yes
         browse list = yes

         map hidden = no
         map system = no
         map archive = no

Did you create the samba passwords?? Take a look at my webpage for
help....

Yup. My samba user is named samba... (I know real ingenious...)

I have a regular user named samba... and I have a samba user named samba...

The relevant line from /etc/passwd is:

         samba:x:1000:100::/samba:/bin/bash

The relevant line from /etc/groups is:

         users::100:

The relevant line from /etc/samba/private/smbpasswd is (stuff being a 
hash... of course):

         samba:1000:<stuff>:<stuff>:[U         ]:LCT-3F07386E:

For testing purposes I used smbpasswd to set the password on the samba user 
to samba and then passwd to set the same password on the actual unix user.

Still no dice...
