After a couple of minutes of inactivity I tried to access the samba
share again and I got the error message I wrote about previously:
* Error Message: /xxxxx/ is not accessible. You might not have
permission to use this network resource.
Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access
permission * .
The share is accessible locally and so is the XP share from Linux.

You said, I believe, that you are running XP/Home. Are you logged on
as borzo (and not Borzo, BORZO or some other variant)?
Also, take it back to just including the path, restart samba, and let
us know the exact error message Windows gives you.

From [global] I have removed valid users
At first in [MyFiles] I left only the path, which didn't work at all
( I was presented with an error on XP ), here's what I'm left with:
[MyFiles]
path = /home/samba/
force user = borzo
force group = borzo
create mask = 0644
directory mask = 755
but this didn't change the situation, I am still presented by the
grayedout login prompt, and by the way the share is accessible
through samba locally, aswell as the XP shares.
The share's permissions are set to 0777, user and group are set to
borzo and borzo is added and enabled with smbpasswd.
thanks so far,
SG

you really _don't_ want to put this in the global section, or the only
user allowed is borzo everywhere, and guest connections will always be
denied.

Simo.
Yes, but that probably isn't his problem as he also has borzo as the
only valid user for his MyFiles share.
My concern is that he has so much other unnecessary entries in his
share definition. My advice to him would be to clear out all the
unnecessary stuff until he can get a working share. Start with just
the path and see if that works. If it doesn't then your problem lies
elsewhere.
What are the Unix directory permissions for the share? Try setting
them to allow everyone read-write-execute access.
