[Samba] help with NT-to-Samba

Hello,

I have a PC running NT 4.0 SP6 and a SUN Solaris (natvpn2) running Samba 
2.2.2-sun-solaris-2.8. I installed and configured Samba myself from the 
wealth of documentation available. I passed all steps in DIAGNOSIS.txt, 
except that TEST 9 does not ask for a password:

D:\TEMP>net use s: \\natvpn2\wohl
The command completed successfully.

... and this is my problem: Samba logs me on as "nobody", so I have but few 
permissions on the UNIX box. I would like to log on as "wohl" (with 
password, of course).

# This is my smb.conf:

[global]
    workgroup = WORKGROUP
    server string = Samba Server
    hosts allow = 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.11
# These are:  my NT^^^^^^^^^^^ SUN^^^^^^^^^

#My SUN user name is "wohl"; my NT user name is different
    username = wohl

    load printers = yes
    log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
    max log size = 50

    security = share
    encrypt passwords = yes

    socket options = TCP_NODELAY

    dns proxy = no

[homes]
    comment = Home Directories
    browseable = yes
    writable = yes
    read only = no
    public = yes

[tmp]
    comment = Temporary file space
    path = /tmp
    read only = no
    public = yes


Can you help please?

-Peter
