[Samba] samba authentication problem

[mahesh pawar]

Hi all,

    I am trying to configure samba (3.0.23d) on my linux machine. This
is my smb.conf file,

[global]
        workgroup = BSIL
        netbios name = MDT506
        security = share
        server string = samba testing........
[data]
        read only = No
        guest ok = yes
        path = /export
        force user = mahesh.pawar
        force group = users
        comment = for everyone...


with this configuration I am able to access the share on samba If a
windows machine is logged in as a administrator.
If I log in with a user account (which is also stored in smbpasswd) I am
unable to access the samba share.

also I am not sure about the behavior of the samba, because if I change
the authentication in the configuration file it doesn't take effect.
but I can access the samba from other unix machine with the user account
I created in the smbpasswd file.

Guide me through the configuration as I think I have missed out
something, which is not letting me access the folder from windows user
account.
