Thank you, Steve, for helping me out.  The preexec problem for logging
has been solved.  A little typo causing it to fail.  Anyways, that part
is alright now.

As for the "valid users = %S" problem, the problem is still there.
There shouldn't be any other setting in the configuration that causes
problems as the smb.conf file that I attached in my previous message
is all I have in the smb.conf.  Whenever the "valid users = %S" line
is enabled, it stopped working.  Really clueless.

Further advise is much appreciated.
