    Art,

        It should be straight forward.

    (1) each user must have a unix account on each machine
    (2) each user needs a smbpasswd on each machine (smbpasswd -a [username])
    **(I usually try and keep the unix account password and smbpasswd the same)
    (3) set up the shares you want to share in /etc/samba/smb.conf
    (4) use testparm to verify the smb.conf
    (5) restart smb and all should work (rcsmbd)

    How is name resolution handled?? BIND? /etc/hosts? for your situation
    /etc/hosts is the simple answer.

    If your still having problems, post your smb.conf
