[Samba] Accessing Windows file-system from Linux samba server

[Adam Nielsen]

Since you're not specifying a username or password, you're connecting as
a Guest user.

> [tim at helen Documents and Settings]$ ls tim
> ls: reading directory tim: Permission denied

Obviously Guest isn't Tim :-)

But Guest will need to know what the system defaults are.

When you mount the share, specify a Windows username to connect as
(mount ... -o username=tim)
