You don't say which clients you are using, so, in general:
- win pc's give samba the username and passwd you use to logon to MSNetworks.
- if samba knows about these usernames and passwords, then users access their
homedirs without any password prompt.
- if win usernames are different from samba/unix usernames then you need to
use username map
- if you use a recent ver of win95, win98 or winnt4sp3 than you need to read
ENCRYPTION.txt (samba docs).

For the public folder, there are various approaches, the simpler is to make
the folder "guest ok" and use "force user" and "force group" parameter.
