I am trying to access a samba share I have setup on my system from Windows. I can see it in Network Neighborhood but when I try and access the system it asks for a username and password. I thought I have configured it to be completely open and readable by all but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Code:

[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = very nice
netbios name = copper
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50

[data]
comment = data
path = /data/
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
security = share
guest account = nobody
read only = yes

Moved security = share to [global] section and it started working.
