If you use user mode ( security = user ). You should unmask some relating option of password. add a new user to LinuxOS.
and then use comand smbadduser and smbpasswd. It will be ok!
Note: you will add a new user named honey
1 add relating content to smb.conf
2 useradd honey and passwd honey
3 smbadduser honey:honey then type password for him.
4 smbpasswd let you can change samba user's password.

if security is not to be tight, set
security = share
can give you a fast go. use it if you are on a home lan.

If you use Linux user to do authentication, you must change Win2000 register to use plainpasswdtext.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanworkstation\parameters]
"enableplaintextpassword"=dword:00000001

; encrypt passwords = yes
; smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
If you cancel these two lines , then you use Linux user.
