samba - Jan 2005 - Write list access to Read only share

I have been at this problem for almost a week on my own...
I am running Samba 3.0.4 on a linux 2.4.26 kernel.
I have a share that I want to be read only to the world and writable by members
of the write list:
[Content]
path = /mnt/win/Content
read only = yes
quest ok = yes
write list = sam
 
I set a password for sam using smbpasswd. I believe all of the UNIX permissions
are set correctly.
 
I can access the share fine in read only mode.  But as user sam on a Windows
machine, I try to copy a file to the share and on the first attempt, I get a
message "Invalid MS-DOS function".  On the second attempt, I get the
message "Access is denied".
 
By looking at the logs, I see that I get an "NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD"
for sam; since the Windows share password has no value yet, nothing is sent
during the session setup. I see that I am connected as the guest user, initially
during the session setup and when I try to copy the file.  The guest user then
gets a "Permission denied" message when open_file is called which
makes sense because guest has only read privilege.
 
Shouldn't I see a prompt on my Windows system to provide a share password? 
And then once I provide a share password, I should be connected as sam?  (I have
another share which is accessible only by a valid user list and that is the
behavior when I first try to connect to it).
 
Thanks

Had a similar problem a few weeks ago. I found out that your config only 
works if you have set security = user in the global section.
Then, a login box should pop up the first time you try to access the share.
For some reason, Windows remembers what you enter in this box, even if you 
don?t check "Remember Username/Password", so be careful with it.

Good Luck,
