samba - Jun 2006 - security = share

[global]
        workgroup = SCL
        netbios name = ODIN
        security = share
        log level = 2
        interfaces = eth*
        bind interfaces only = yes
        socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY

[images]
        comment = ODIN
        path = /odin/images
        browseable = yes
        writeable = yes
        read only = no
        public = yes

[IPC$]
        path = /tmp

I seem to missing something. If I try to connect to the images share it 
is not authenticating the user specified. Here is what shows up in the 
/var/log/samba/log.smb

[2006/06/01 08:39:23, 2] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(317)
  check_ntlm_password:  Authentication for user [images] -> [images] 
FAILED with error NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER
[2006/06/01 08:39:23, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(700)
  155.97.16.161 (155.97.16.161) connect to service images initially as 
user nobody (uid=65534, gid=65533) (pid 11752)

It is not prompting for a password, what am I missing?

public=yes means anyone can connect to the share.  You will notice from
your logs that the user authentication fails, and here you would
normally get an error message - but because of public=yes, Samba just
lets you connect as the user 'nobody'.
