Do the steps in /usr/share/doc/samba-2.2.1a/docs/textdocs/DIAGNOSIS.txt,
it's a really good guide. Ah, I forgot, you can't use the clients...
Well, doing a share listing through smbclient doesn't usually require a
password at all, so I wouldn't rely on it as a troubleshooting tool. So
try this:

Make sure that /etc/samba/smb.conf says something like:
encrypt passwords = Yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
interfaces = 192.168.1.9/24 127.0.0.1/8

The last line allowes connections from localhost. Reset the passwords,
then restart Samba and see what happens.
