I think there may be a samba setting that equates samba user accounts with 
established (Linux) user accounts, but it may not be default behavior.

On the linux systems I set up at work to provide CVS, I have to create samba 
user names and passwords before people can sign in.  The samba command is 
'smbpasswd'.  Try using that on the Ubuntu box to set up a user name and 
password (just something simple to try it) and see if the Mac can use that to 
connect to a share.

Cheers,
Bret
