samba - Jun 2003 - samba share not accesable from windows PC,s "newbie here"

Well i have installed samba on my redhat 9.0 server ..

& just to try it  made a smb.conf with the following entries ...

[global]
workgroup = SIMPLE
[test]
comment = testing only
path = /myhome
read only = no
guest ok = yes

& restart smb services .. but the problem is that when ever i try to browse
from other windows PC from the network .. i get some error like this
"account does not have access right to use from this workstation" ...

how can this be resolved ... ?

It's been my experience that your configuration file will need a lot more 
than that. You also need samba passwords. Unless you have set your Windows PC 
for clear text passwords you will need to have the encrypt passwords = yes in 
your file. Check out the Samba How To on ssamba.org and also the samba how to 
at tldp.org (They may be the same how to I am not sure) It has a a good 
initial setup for samba in there.
