samba - Sep 2011 - Samba (CentOS) + Windows 7 Ultimate 64 = no login

Hi,

I am trying to setup a CentOS staging server as part of my
development/testing setup.  CentOS is working fine and I'm able to connect
via SSH and HTTP without isssue.

I want directly edit code on the CentOS server from my main tower running
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit but I'm struggling to authenticate a connection.

I'm at a point where Windows knows there is a share available but will not
accept the username/password.

Samba Version is 3.5.4-68.e16_0.2

Here is my /etc/samba/smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = WEBBEDIT
netbios name = smbserver
security = SHARE
load printers = No
default service = global
path = /home
available = No
encrypt passwords = yes
[html]
writeable = yes
admin users = smbuser
path = /var/www/html
force user = root
valid users = smbuser
public = yes
available = yes

Here is the latest output from /var/log/messages:

smbd/service.c:942(make_connection_snum)
Sep  6 17:09:44 localhost smbd[5231]:   Can't become connected user!

It seems that as I boot up windows it tries to make connections itself which
fail with 'authorise_login: rejected invalid user nobody' then when I
try to
make a connection myself and supply a username and password I get 'Can't
become connected user!'

I got the conf contents from a blog which states those settings are very
open, so I am aware they should not be used on a publicly available machine. 
I opened up my Firewall hence why Windows is at least attempting to connect.

I've seen in various places mention of altering Local Security policies, but
they do not seem to have helped.

Could someone help me out here or direct me to a GOOD tutorial anywhere that
would guide me through this process from scratch?

Thanks, Paul.

How do you want to configure?
Your smb.conf is something inconsistent.

If you want to access the share without password, try:

[global]
  workgroup = WEBBEDIT
  netbios name = smbserver
  security = SHARE

[html]
  writeable = yes
  public = yes
  path = /var/www/html

Anyway, "security = share" will be obsolated, and is not recommended.

I am happy to do away with my configuration and use something more
conventional.

Can you point me in the direction of a good tutorial? All I want is to have
full access to /var/www/html on my CentOS box from my Windows 7 machine.  

I am just as happy to do away with the password requirement as this is only
ro be used on my small internal network.

Thanks again, Paul.
