OK, that explains why you were having the nobody:nogroup problem.

The easiest way to fix the problem is to create Samba accounts for each
user on the server. If they don't already have them, each user will also
need a Linux account. So, for user fred:

    # useradd fred (that creates a Linux account)
    # smbpassed -a fred (that creates the Samba account)


You'll be prompted for a password twice after the 'smbpasswd' command
above. If you make the username and password the same as that used on
Windows, you should find you are no longer asked for authentication
details.

Let us know how you get on.
