Bob:

Yes - I hit this too.  With Samba you have to create Samba Users.  These 
may be the same as your linux users - but not necessarily so.  If you 
are using that System/Admin/Samba GUI there is a separate bit under the 
preferences tab for doing that.  Once you have created them you can 
check them in the "allow access to..." bit.
