Authentification problems with samba

Run -

cat /etc/samba/smbpasswd

And make sure your user and password are present, it should look something like -

cbx200:1000:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:B233GYHH78JHH

If it's not present try making it again with -

smbpasswd -a

Default masks should be 0777, but it wouldn't hurt to set them manually just to make sure, you can always change them when you have samba working

Also, remove this line from you samba template as it's not needed -

valid users = kuku, luisa

Here's my working template so you can check yours against it -

[global]
	netbios name = |NAME| 
	display charset = |CHARSET|
	interfaces = |INTERFACES|
	server string = |DESCRIPTION|
	unix charset = |CHARSET|
	workgroup = |WORKGROUP|
	bind interfaces only = yes
	deadtime = 30
	enable core files = no
	invalid users = root
	local master = no
	map to guest = Bad User
	max protocol = SMB2
	min receivefile size = 16384
	null passwords = yes
	passdb backend = smbpasswd
	security = user
	smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
	use sendfile = yes
