There are some circumstances that let samba connect as a guest
user instead of the one you expect.  If you set 'guest ok = no'
or 'public = no' on the share you can eliminate this.  It also
helps if the user is logged into the windows box under the
same name as the unix login that they should be using for the
connection.
