samba - Sep 2006 - Can't get guest users to see a drive without logging in

I have a drive set up like

[public]
   comment = Public drive for miscellaneous stuff
   path = /apps/local/public
   writable = yes
   guest ok = yes
   force user = root
   force group = engr
   create mask = 0664
   directory mask = 0775
   public = yes
   browseable = yes

and I want users without Unix accounts to be able to access this drive
from 
Windows machines. However, whenever they try to access the drive it asks
for 
a login password. Users with Linux accounts on the machine aren't asked
for 
the password. How can I let in guest users without Linux accounts?
Thanks.

	My guess is that you having problems with your guest
account and trying to set the user (force user) to be root.

	Kind regards,
