    Marek, here is a working smb.conf built by hand that shows the basics.
    Double check your permissions of /home and /home/group on your box. Why are
    you exporting all home directories?? Permission will kill you there unless
    the files are all owned by a common group. Also, your password
    server=microsoft seems suspect. If it is a default samba install you are
    using the smbpasswd file. So you have to make sure each user has a Linux
    username/password (useradd) as well as a samba password (smbpasswd -a) Make
    sure the Linux and smbpasswd's are the same otherwise passwd chat won't be
    very happy. Anyway, here is my smb.conf:

    skyline:/etc/ssl/certs # cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
    # Global parameters
    [global]
            netbios name = skyline
            workgroup = rb_law
            server string = Skyline Network Server %v
            encrypt passwords = Yes
            update encrypted = Yes
            smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
            passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
            passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *new*password* %n\n *success*
            passwd chat debug = Yes
            unix password sync = Yes
            log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
            max log size = 50
            name resolve order = wins hosts lmhosts bcast
            socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
            logon script = %U.bat
            domain logons = Yes
            time server = yes
            os level = 60
            preferred master = Yes
            domain master = Yes
            dns proxy = No
            wins support = Yes
            hosts allow = 192.168.6. localhost 66.76.63.60
            min print space = 2000
            load printers = yes
            printing = cups
            printcap name = cups

    [Skyline]
            comment = Skyline Shares
            path = /home/samba/skyline
            valid users = @skyline
            force group = skyline
            admin users = david
            writeable = Yes
            map archive = Yes
            inherit permissions = Yes

    [RankinFirm]
            comment = Rankin Law Firm
            path = /home/samba/rankin
            valid users = @rankin
            force group = rankin
            admin users = david
            writeable = Yes
            map archive = Yes
            inherit permissions = Yes

    [rbpllc]
            comment = Rankin Bertin
            path = /home/samba/rbpllc
            valid users = @rankin
            force group = rankin
            admin users = david
            writeable = Yes
            map archive = Yes
            inherit permissions = Yes

    [homes]
            comment = Homes Directory
            writeable = Yes
            browseable = No

    [printers]
            comment = The Printers
            path = /var/spool/samba
            guest ok = Yes
            public = Yes
            writeable = no
            printable = Yes
            browseable = no
