security is set to SHARE. Otherwise I will not be able to have /pub which is 
accessable for everyone.

From man smb.conf

public
         This parameter is a synonym for guest ok.

      guest ok (S)
If this parameter is yes for a service, then no password is required to connect to the service. Privileges will be those of the
         guest account.

This paramater nullifies the benifits of setting restrict anonymous = 2

See the section below on security for more information about this option.

         Default: guest ok = no

So as long as you set "public = Yes" for share /pub2, you wouldn't be prompted for a username and password.

The other option is to use "security = user" and set "map to guest" parameter for /pub share.

I have set up samba and configured resources /pub for "pcguest" account and it 
works perfect (read/write access for for everyone. No authentication is needed)

Now, I want to set new resource called /pub2 where access is limited only for user 
"userx".

What I did:
I created userx in /etc/passwd and his home dir in /pub2
I created userx using "smbpasswd"
Both users has this same passwd.

In /etc/samba/smb.conf added:

[pub2]
path = /pub2
volume = userx
comment = Programy userx
public = yes
writable = yes
share modes = yes
read only = no
create mode = 0775
directory mode = 0775
oplocks = True
level2 oplocks = True

After SAMBA restart:
sitting on WindowsXP box I am able to see /pub and /pub2 resources. I can even 
browse /pub2 but I am unable to create any file or dir.
This is expected behavior... but why the heck I cant have way to log on to user 
"userx" account ?

Did you check the unix permissions of the folder you are sharing? Does
userx have rw permissions?

John

Ammm... John, whats the point of unix permissions? I can browse content of 
/pub2 from any workstation on LAN.
The problem is that when I click on PUB2 resources I should get window to put 
login and password - why I dont have it ?
Are you using security=share or user? Please post your smb.conf without comments.

--Sadique

here is "ls"
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ls -l /home/
drwxr-xr-x 3 pcguest pcguest  4096 2008-01-30 21:30 pub/
drwxr-xr-x 4 userx   users    4096 2008-02-02 18:33 pub2/

What is important !!!
Windows Workstations from witch I try to login hasnt account "userx".
The Windows enviroment is only workgroup. And each station has its own login.
Each time someone want to access /pub2 then window asking for login and passwd 
should apear.
