another samba issue...


Ok, so I recently switched from centos to fedora as my server choice. Probably not the best decision but I like trying new things. Now before I switched I had my samba server setup just they way I wanted it. Now I'm having a hard time getting it back to that way. Here is my smb.conf

Code:
[global]
        workgroup = workgroup
        netbios name = netbios name
        server string = Linux Server
        security = user
        wins support = yes
        encrypt passwords = Yes
        domain logons = yes
[homes]
        comment = Home Directories
        browseable = yes
        writable = yes
        valid users = %S

[me]
        path = /home/me
        read only = no
        public = yes
        create mask = 0777
        directory mask = 0777
        browseable = yes
        writable = yes
Now I did throw away my old smb.conf because it wasn't that complicated and I figured I could reproduce it.. aside from that everything is working except for the fact that I can access any share I want to listed without it requesting a password. I have a username and password setup with smbpasswd and I think everything else is setup correctly involving samba shares but I have no idea why it won't request a password. Any suggestions?

"public" is the same as guest ok I think. I would remove this part if you want a password prompt
