iptables does not block anything?

"valid users" has to be a user and not a host IP. In "hosts allow" you
should include 127. too.

Thanks Alexander,
 the changes you suggested for the smb.conf file made no difference,
but  you made me look up iptables and I learned something. But not
enough.

The iptables result is

[root at Winsoren root]# /sbin/iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
RH-Firewall-1-INPUT  all  --  anywhere             anywhere
 
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
RH-Firewall-1-INPUT  all  --  anywhere             anywhere
 
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
