need SAMBA help, can connect but access is denied

[stfaprc]

using Fedora on a SAMBA server.
/etc/samba/smb.conf has:

[cups_raw]
		hide dot files = no
		valid users = johny,loger
		path = /var/spool/cups
		allow hosts = 192.168.1.

from a windows box (different versions give same results)

D:\>net use * \\ls2\cups_raw 0000000 /user:ls2\johny
Drive F: is now connected to \\ls2\cups_raw.
The command completed successfully.

D:\>dir f:
Network access is denied.

To confuse the issue even more, this setup did function for the first day.

the permissions on the linux box are:

[root@ls2 spool]# ls -l /var/spool/| grep cups
drwx--x--- 5 root sys 376832 Apr 30 04:22 cups
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 20480 Apr 28 11:52 cups_bu
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Feb 18 23:35 cups-pdf

[root@ls2 spool]# ls -la /var/spool/cups/
total 684
drwx--x--- 5 root sys 376832 Apr 30 04:22 .
drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4096 Apr 29 14:00 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14 Apr 30 04:09 cupscron.log
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 57344 Apr 29 10:12 ftp
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 217088 Apr 30 04:22 old
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 44 Apr 21 14:46 smrsh.log
drwxrwx--T 2 root sys 12288 Apr 29 12:32 tmp

so , what is going wrong?

looks like you have not created smb users in linux.

I am assuming that your smb security is set to "user"

try:
smbpasswd -a johnny


smbpassswd -a loger

If you make these passwords the same as windoz clients login passwords you won't be asked anymore for a password when connecting to smb shares. That's quick and sweet!

If I could have sex each time I reboot my server, I would definitely prefer Windoz over Linux!

The permission of /var/spool/cups is 710, meaning people in the sys group can change into, but can't see anything in it.

1: johny is a samba user
2: johny is not a member of the sys group
3: did not see anything in the samba troubleshooting guide.

Keep in mind that this did work at one time.
This is what tail samba/pcname.log shows:
