Simple Samba Setup

[Paul Lemmons <paul.lemmons@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to setup what I think is the simplest samba setup and am now 
completely bald with frustration. (I did not have much hair to start 
with so this sounds much worse than it really is :-> )

Here is what I am attempting:
- Share a directory read/write to a specific set of users
- The user, on windows-xp, should be able to \\linux\share
- They should be able to enter both a userid and password
- The userid and password should be the one on the linux box

This sounds simple but I am missing it some where. I guess my first 
question is "Is this even possible?"

So far, all combinations of security have had the same result. The user 
is presented with a login screen that pre-fills the userid field with 
something bogus and does not let them change it. No password supplied is 
ever accepted.
