[Bug 423562] [NEW] Windows client strange behavour on password protected shares

[PryGuy]

Public bug reported:

Good day to you all!
I have found a strange Windows behavour when I try to access password protected Samba shares. Not sure who's guilty, but I fill the bug anyway. On Windows client, if I:
1. Login, open shares list on Server, click on a password protected share, get a login/password prompt. Enter it and I'm in.
2. Login, open shares list on Server, enter a public share, open (create, delete, etc.) a file there, return to shares list, click on a password protected share, get a login/password prompt. Enter it and I'm in.
3. Login, open shares list on Server, enter a public share BUT DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING THERE, return to shares list, click on a password protected share, get a login/password prompt. Enter it and IT DOES NOT LET ME IN!!!

If I return to a shares list after that, go to a public share, do
something there and then try to enter a password protected share - it
works fine!

Here's an extract from my config:

[global]
...
   create mask = 0664
   directory mask = 0775
   writable = yes
   locking = no
   guest ok = yes

[Documents]
   path = /path/to/folder
   guest only = yes

[Private]
   path = /path/to/folder
   valid users = someuser
