I found that, for me, getting "invalid username/password" was a
configuration issue. The following, taken from my
/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf file, works to create non-public shares.
When you go to map the drive from a Win 95 desktop (in my example
\\gilg\intranet) and are prompted for the password, key it in as:

   userpass,acctpass

Note: If there is an account password, then the comma is required.

From smb.conf:

[intranet]

  comment = maintenance share for PCBP Intranet

  guest ok = no
  write ok = yes
  path = /APACHE/INTRANET/public_html
  username = mgr.apache

Hope this helps.
