See the description of Samba username/password validation at:
http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smb.conf.5.html#VALIDATIONSECTYou're using "security=share". This is a method that is not native to HP-UX nor Windows XP: it's the method used by Windows 9x and older.
At the moment, there is no "user" or "username" directives anywhere in your smb.conf.
When "security=share" is used, the client never explicitly sends the username it wants to use when connecting. You must use Samba's "username" (or equivalently "user") configuration directive to list the users that might be using this service. Samba will try to match the supplied password with each listed user: if the password matches AND the user is listed in the "valid users = " setting for the share, access is allowed.
From the smb.conf man page:
---------------
The username line is not a great solution in many cases as it means Samba will try to validate the supplied password against each of the usernames in the username line in turn. This is slow and a bad idea for lots of users in case of duplicate passwords. You may get timeouts or security breaches using this parameter unwisely.
----------------
In most cases, the setting "security = user" works more reliably and is easier to understand than "security = share".
(In my opinion, using "security = share" is just stupid unless your server must work with DOS/Win3.11/Windows 9x machines which cannot do anything better.)
If you insist on using "security=share", you'll need to add "user=root test1 jayan" to the settings of your test share. Yes, it means that the same usernames are listed twice: once in "user=" and another time in "valid users=".
But I recommend switching to "security=user" instead.
