You need to use the "Convert Unix Users to Samba Users" icon in the Samba module
to create samba accounts for some or all of your unix users. Unfortunately samba
users cannot exist in isolation.

Or simpler still, click on the "Configure automatic Unix and Samba user synchronisation"
icon to setup automatic samba user creation when a unix user is added. Then you
can add a user at System -> Users and Groups, and he will be created in Samba as
well.
