IMHO, you should be using "security = user". Give everyone a Unix
account, and set the MS password using `smbpasswd'. You may want to
consider upgrading to the latest Samba (version 2) from potato too.
If it still doesn't work, see what kind of errors you get with
smbclient, e.g.
$ smbclient '\\hostname\tmp' -U whoever
You can add "-d 2" or "-d 5" to get debugging output from smbclient.
You can also increase the debug level, and check (IIRC) /var/log/smb
for errors.
