This is becoming a real hijack, which I didn't intend. However,
All users that are intended to be able to share have a user account on the samba server. All users have samba passwords matching their login passwords, whether in windows or linux. I couldn't even get their home directories to show using 'user' mode.

FWIW, Anne, I don't consider it a hijack at all, as my issues are definitely being addressed here too :)
I am in exactly the same boat as you are indicating. In 'share' mode, all is visible, in 'user' mode I can't seem to authenticate at all.

On your Windows box, set up a user and password that match *exactly* what was entered for *samba* user/password. I can browse and connect to samba servers with security = user .
But you probably don't have any shares marked as 'public' or 'guest OK'. In user mode these don't mix well with normal authentication.
