Well...

This is all I had to do with SWAT to create a fully accessible share:

[geral]
comment = Molhada...
path = /.disk1/samba
read only = No
guest ok = Yes

The target directory "/.disk1/samba" is 777

If this still doesn't help I'll post my complete global settings as seen from SWAT - quite long...

Cheers

If there's no particular reason for you to use security = share, I suggest you use security = user instead.

Also, your global section does not include encrypt passwords = yes, which is needed unless you try mounting from windows 95/98. Windows 2k and XP encrypt their passwords.

If the second point doesn't resolve your problem, try the first one.
I tried the force user option on my server, and it worked without problems. The only things I noticed was different in our global sections (at first glance) was the two things I've mentioned above. (Although I've got a BUNCH of other stuff in my .conf file, I would think these should resolve your issues)
