#1 - have sympathy on lists and remove comment lines. You can do this
easily with smb.conf by typing 'testparm -s > /tmp/samba.conf'
and giving us the output of that file (/tmp/samba.conf)
#2 - The 'Macros' like %S are described in samba man page which can
be gotten by typing 'man smb.conf' in a console/terminal or
opening Konqueror and typing 'man smb.conf' in the address bar
#3 - Samba's requirement for users is that they are a user in Linux
and a samba user too (same name)...therefore, after you create
the user 'holly' in Debian, get a terminal and type...
smbpasswd -a holly
which will then prompt you for a password for 'user' holly
