samba - Nov 2010 - Public no-password share with "security = domain", is it possible ?

Hi,

I have one samba act as PDC controlling a domain and another one act as 
a Fileserver joined to that domain.
Now i need to create a public share that doesn't need user/password. Is 
that possible ? I tried the following on the Fileserver but didnt work :

[public]
path=/share/public
public=yes
read only=no

The directory is already in 777 mode. When i try to connect to them from 
a Windows box that's not it keeps asking me username/password.
If enter a domain username/password, it works, but that's not not what i 
wanted :(





Thanks.

did you also set in global:
map to guest = bad user
guest account = nobody (or some other appropriate for your host OS)

these are the same options required for guest on a standalone server as well
also, if your windows pc is using the same username as one of your
domain logins, this won't work, you'd have to use "bad
password" or
"bad uid", but you should read about the caveats in man smb.conf
before doing that.

You can try to use:
guest ok = yes
also you might need to specify the guest account.
