security = user is the default. With this setting, you can't see  
*anything* on the Samba server from Windows unless the user a correct  
username+password are supplied. This is a pain unless your Windows +  
linux usernames+passwords are the same.

security = share is the easiest to manage, as the share list is  
visible to all users. You can then manage security with the "valid  
users" and "invalid users" list per share.

It may be wise to set up a special user (e.g. smbguest) for the guest account
