Thanks Scott. I tried smbpasswd -a <windows_user_name> as root. But got
the following error.
gogo# smbpasswd -a jaideep
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
User jaideep does not exist in system password file (usually
/etc/passwd). Cannot add account without a valid local system user.
Failed to modify password entry for user jaideep
What I was trying is to map my windows_user_name to unix_user_name
(jbhatia) in this case. Looks like the mapping is working but the
authentication is failing. When I enter the machine gogo from win2k
machine, what I see is the following shares.
1. homes 2. hp6000 3. jbhatia 4. public 5. Printers
homes and jbhatia share is where the problem is.

You probably did this one, but one frequent problem is that folks forget
to
add the Windows user name (with Windows password) to the smbpasswd file.
smbpasswd -a <username>
If you haven't done it yet, then you get an error message the first time
that can be safely ignored, something about the file being
non-existent--however it's created after adding the first user.
The other one (that probably isn't the issue, as you can browse the
public
shares) is uncommented the encrypted password in smb.conf.
