I installed debian 5.0 on an old box to use as a file server for my home. I want to map my user /home folder on the linux box as a drive on my windows 7 machine. i installed samba, but i can't seem to figure out the basic premise.

I'm not sure what the samba server is doing and how i need to configure it. i used the command:

Code:
smbclient -L debianserver
using the default smb.conf configuration and after entering my password, I get

Code:
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
So does this mean my smb.conf file is wrong? Changing security from 'user' to 'share' at least gets me to a 'server requested LANMAN password...' error, but which security is optimal for my setup?

My linux box shows up under 'network' on my windows machine, but when i click the link, it asks for credentials and then says 'logon failure' when i try to enter them.
