You can have a Samba account without a Linux account, but it takes 
extra work. You have to define the user/group to use with the 
share(s) you give access to that do not have a local account. (I 
believe you can also use network authorization, but I have never 
used it.)

You can also map one or more Samba users to a Linux user using the 
smbusers file.
