According to the HowTo the samba users have to exist twice:
First in the linux authentication.
Second in the file created with smbpasswd.
To get both in sync you have to use the diverse config directives:
add user script
add group script
add user to group script
set primary group script
a.s.o.
Adding a user to the samba password file who doesn't exist in the
/etc/passwd
and /etc/shadow will fail.. (I tried that often enough..:-)). Also it won't
work for samba if the users only reside in the standard linux authentication
mechanism.
Might be that it's different if you use NIS or LDAP...
