No, change the share type to USER and make sure that your passdb backend has all the user accounts and passwords for the users you want to authenticate.  I haven't worked with Samba 3.0 yet, but from reading about it I know you don't need machine accounts unless you are trying to use Samba as a PDC.

I have set the smbpasswd, but still, when I get the dialog from windows asking for a username and password, and am told that the username and password are incorrect.
