The FAQ Samba Quick needs updating I think. Maybe my setup is different [I'm running of the CD] but the line
mount -t smbfs -u username=foo,password=bar //windowsbox/sharename /mnt/myshare
should have the -u changed to -o
mount -t smbfs -o username=foo,password=bar //windowsbox/sharename /mnt/myshare
definition of pain--spending 3+ hours trying to figure it out!
I found a cool page from IBM about setting up Samba. I's got some neat (and simple) steps to change & test one thing at a time to get going! It's for Linux-to-AS/400 [iSeries] connection, but it's pretty good.

p.s. how do you get rid of the overtyping in the root shell--it's really hard to see what you're doing.
