a)  I also tried 'user" but it did not help.

b) Yes in the same user's name but without password.  There is no 
password.  This is an experiment.

Now I download "Samba-2.2.5-1" from Samba.org website and upgrade samba 
application

# rpm -qa|grep samba
samba-2.2.5-1

# service smb start
Starting SMB services: [ OK ]

Only "smb services" indicated. "nmb service" disappears. Is it correct for 
version 2.2.5-1 ??? Kindly advise me whether I need to have it reinstall 
!!!!!!!!

Thanks in advance

Stephen
