Are you using a domain (PC's are in the domain and user accounts are in
the domain not on each PC) or a workgroup (each user account is defined
on his or her own PC.) If the PC's are domain members then you should
just be able to have all the users in a group and the group has access
to that common share.
If the PC's are in a workgroup, the user can map a drive letter to each
share- this can be a persistent drive mapping that stores the
credentials. However, my experience has been that you can not connect
to two different shares on one server, each with a different
credentials. At least this is the case when connecting from an XP Pro
client.
E.g.
net use x: \\server1\share1 /user:jsmith
(that will work)
net use y: \\server1\share2 /user:rsmith
(that will fail with a warning that you are already connected to the
server with different credentials.)

Users are logging into the pc with unique accounts. I would like to
have them access other shares as well. The idea is to have a simple
setup with a standard username and password for shares. Here's a
more complete example:
Greate folders
===========
mkdir /media/test
chmod -R 770 /media/test
chmod g+s /media/test
chown -R root:users /media/test
mkdir /media/samba
chmod -R 770 /media/samba
chmod g+s /media/samba
groupadd office
chown -R root:office /media/samba
Add users
========
smbpasswd -a user
smbpasswd -a user2
Add users to relevant groups
============================
gpasswd -a user users
gpasswd -a user2 office
Create /etc/samba/smb.conf
==========================
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
netbios name = TESTSERVER
security = user
[test]
path = /media/test
read only = No
store dos attributes = yes
inherit permissions = yes
[samba]
path = /media/samba
read only = No
store dos attributes = yes
inherit permissions = yes
