# cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
[global]

        workgroup = MYGROUP
        server string = SMBSERVER
        security = user
        passdb backend = tdbsam
        hosts allow = 10.180.10.10


#============================ Share Definitions ==============================

Are you trying to say Linux machine?

First remove this line in your conf file and try
force user = smbtest

How are you trying to mount? By command line or By UI?

This is command to mount shared directory.

Code:

mount -t smbfs -o username=username //path/of/your/shared/directory /where-you-want-to-mount

If it is remote host.

Code:

mount -t smbfs -o username=username //remote-server-IP/directory-name /where-you-want-to-mount
