the 'default service = share' line under [global] meant that anyone that failed to authenticate would default to the [share] section. Ideally, the /share volume wouldn't require any authentication to connect to, and it would be visable via the Network Neighborhood in Windows. Currently, if a valid user tries to connect they get their home directory and they can mount the /share volume. Anyone that tries to access the fileserver without authenticating or authenticating improperly (bad username/password) isn't getting anything. Any help would be appreciated.
