I tried that, but I do not know the format. I tried typing like a host

jim <password>
Go to a command line anf type the following:
"smbpasswd -a jim" and follow the prompts.
You MUST have an smbpasswd file in the place specified by /etc/samba/smb.conf
By default that is /etc/samba/smbpasswd.
I have never used Suse so the above file locations could be different.
You may need to season the above paths to taste.
BTW there are no files. mailman does not allow attachments. Put the revelent
parts and ONLY the revelent parts inline.

Is there syntax involved in this? I used the GUI to open the file, type it
in, then saved the file. Still no luck.

Jim,
Did you set the username/password for the user Jim using smbpasswd ?
Samba does NOT use the password/shadow file for password !
