Rob, The reason you can see the shares is because security=share doesn't do any authentication until you try to access a share.
I can see you're using encrypted passwords, so you need to make sure that the username exists as a Linux user and has an entry in the smbpasswd file. I personally had alot of problems getting security=share to work. I think the hardest thing to figure out is what username it's going to use. If you check out the smb.conf.5.htm you will see what steps samba uses to determine what username to use.

I use the following conf file: [global] smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd printing = lprng dns proxy = no security = share encrypt passwords = yes workgroup = K&S server string = Samba Server socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192 log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log netbios name = Linux load printers = yes username map = /etc/samba/user.map printcap name = /etc/printcap max log size = 0 [algemeen] path = /home/data writable = yes comment = K&S Algemeen valid users = root,rob printable = no On my Windows machine I can see linux and I can see the share (algemeen), but when I try to browse to it, Windows asks me for the password. What am I missing?
