SMB File Sharing Mystery

Hello all,

I am trying to get my system to be able to share directories/files  
via SMB.  I have used both the GUI and CLI and I am still not able to  
get this to work.

The issue is that I set everything up and then I try to connect with  
either a mac, windows, or linux machine.  I get a log in prompt but  
it never allows me to log in.  It just keeps prompting me to log in.

I have had this problem for going on 6 months and just can't figure  
out what the issue is.

Here is my log entries:
nmbd.log shows:

[2007/07/18 09:25:53, 1] nmbd/ 
nmbd_incomingrequests.c:process_node_status_request(328)  
process_node_status_request: status request for name LOCALHOST<00>  
from IP 127.0.0.1 on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET - name not found.

samba.log.2 (As of my last attempt on 6/26/07)

[2007/06/26 20:35:45, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(920)
   '/home/lem/temp' does not exist or permission denied when  
connecting to [temp] Error was Permission denied

Here is  my smb.conf file:

#======================= Global Settings  
=====================================
[global]

         workgroup = HOME

         server string = FEDORA

         security = user

         load printers = yes

         cups options = raw

         log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log

         max log size = 50

         dns proxy = no
         username map = /etc/samba/smbusers


#============================ Share Definitions  
==============================
[homes]
         comment = Home Directories
         browseable = no
         writeable = yes

[temp]
         comment = lem TMP directory
         path = /home/lem/tmp
         valid users = lem
         writeable = yes
         printable = no
         browseable = no
