I have a server and have attempted to make a share available to windows users. My problem is that a windows user "Janice" can login to her "home" share. But cannot log in to the "Windata" share.
Permissions for the share are below and smb.conf below that.

patton at tome:~$ ls -l /raid/Windata

One thing about this. When I created the user account, I did not add janice to the group "users". I did that and am able to connect from the "janice" account on the ubuntu desktop machine. But it still does not connect from her windows machine.
patton at tome:~$ cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
