Well, firstly, are you using password encryption? If you are, then
passwords are stored in /etc/smbpasswd and you need to fill that file
with valid account names and passwords (hint: use smbpasswd -a
<username>).
If not, then the security depends on the setting of the "security ="
parameter in /etc/smb.conf.
Recommended readings are: /usr/doc/samba/{ENCRYPTION.txt,security_level.txt}
Finally, Samba by default does not allow acces to accounts that have
null passwords. To change this add this to the [global] section of
/etc/smb.conf:
null passwords = yes
See man smb.conf for more info.
