samba - Jul 1999 - security level flags...

I followed almost step by step Stephen's suggesions but I wasn't able to
have samba working the way I need.
The following is what I put in my smb.conf file.

#================== Global Settings =========================[global]

  workgroup = Rm-Soluzioni
  server string = Samba Server
  guest account = pcguest
  security = user
  log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
  max log size = 50
  encrypt passwords = yes
  username map = /usr/local/samba19/lib/users.map
  socket options = TCP_NODELAY
  os level = 33
  preserve case = no
  wins support = no

#================== Share Definitions =============================[tmp]
   comment = Temporary file space
   path = /tmp
   read only = no
   public = yes

[nvod]
   comment = Nvod's Service
   path = /home/nvod
   valid users = nvod
   public = no
   writable = yes
   printable = no

[tmp] is, of course, the public dir while [nvod] is the nvod's home dir for 
which I want to grant access to nvod only.

My /usr/local/samba19/lib/users.map file says:
nvod = Administrator admin
and I've run the following command to generate the smbpasswd file:
cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh > /usr/local/samba19/private/smbpasswd
as it is written in docs/ENCRYPTION.txt file.

The result instead, after I start smbd & nmbd daemons is that I'm
requested
to provide login and password to access to the whole and not only to the 
user home dir; also, I cannot connect to nvod neither with root's login and 
password nor with nvod's ones...

I have no idea...

Thanks for any help,
Fabio

Does the pcguest account actually exist (eg, like the ftp account)?

The mksmbpasswd.sh script only creates the smbpasswd file with all 
the user info in it, but empty password fields.  Did you actually 
add passwords to the smbpasswd file?  It's not necessarily obvious 
from the docs, so I'm just checking ;-)
