Our Debian 3.01 file server, running Samba 3.0.0 is setup for guest
access to all of the shares. Now I want to add one username, that is a
private share for payroll. I added the username 'pam' with adduser, and
configured smb.conf, see below.


[Payroll]
         path = /home/pam
         comment = Private
         valid users = pam
         writeable = yes
         username level = 3

Do I need to do anything to the smbusers file?

When I try to access that share, I'm not able to enter a username.
It's defaulting to guest, and prompting for a password. Actually, it's
doing this for all shares. When I first set this up a few weeks back, I
was being prompted for a password, but I could never connect
successfully, so I left it alone. (Currently searching the archived
logs for an answer.)

i'll bet you have 'security = share'. User mode security is much more intuitive.
