help with samba config

[deuce868]

I am trying to get a USB mounted hard drive shared on the network for mp3 use.

I have the hd mounted like so in fstab:
/dev/sda1 /music ntfs ro,user,noauto,umask=000 0 0


It is mounted to /music which is owned by root with 755 permissions.

The drive mounts fine and seems good to go from the linux side of things.

Now for my smb.conf I added this share:
[music]
comment = Shared music library
writable = no
path = /music
public = yes

I have no other shares defined and the goal is to let people on the network connect to the drive without a password/username. From my research it looks like the public = yes is supposed to do this.

However, on my Windows XP machine I try to connect I get a password dialog box. I cannot seem to get it to allow any connections without login credentails.

Any ideas what I have wrong here?

Thanks
