what does your /etc/samba/smb.conf file look like ?

Re: Samba wont work with Mac OS X

i don't see anything really wrong with that. as long as your users able to connect from other machines. the only thing you might want to check is that you have the correct workgroup when trying to log in w/ the mac.
