There is a good "troubleshooting" file in the Samba documentation:
/usr/share/doc/Samba-X.X.X/docs/textdocs/DIAGNOSIS.txt.
I had a similar case on my RH 7.0 machine, and Win98; two users
(root, tom.) Everything worked for months on end, and one day user
'tom' somehow lost "permission" on the share. Using the above
DIAGNOSIS.txt, I found the fault to be a different uid for user 'tom'
in /etc/passwd and /etc/samba/smbpasswd. Making the uid the same in
both files, set things straight.
BTW, I'm running Samba-2.0.7-21.
Best,
Tom
