Samba cannot assosiate different username and password for each share
as well as Windows.

If you set as below,

-----
  [global]
    map to guest = bad user

  [public-share]
    guest ok = yes

  [private-share]
    guest ok = no

  [another-private-share]
    guest ok = no

# "guest ok = no" is default.
-----

you can access to the Samba box without username/password, list shares,
access into the "public-share" and are asked about username/password
when you try to access to "private-share". But once you input correct
username/password for the share, you always access to another shares
("another-private-share" in the example above) with the input
username/password.
