Did a clean install of Ubuntu Server 8.10. Configured to run only print server and Samba. All went well until the install was done and the new system fired up. Can't login at all. Only way to login is to reboot and use the recovery console. Which I did. Decided to upgrade the distro to the latest Ubuntu, which I did. Still can't login.

Finally, the fix.

sudo pam-auth-update

Do that and unselect the "SMB password synchronization". Reboot and all is well.
