samba - Jul 2002 - samba ldap and anonymous shares

We are moving all of our linux and samba authentication to OpenLDAP 
and we have several anonymous shares that users access to run custom 
applications.  
     After moving everything to OpenLDAP, anonymous access is broken but 
only from windows clients.  If you connect from a Linux client and pass 
the username of nobody without a password, it works just fine.  Even 
specifiying the nobody user from a windows client does not work.  
     The server's local passwd file still has the nobody user in it.  I 
tried both with and without the nobody user in the OpenLDAP directory.
     Any ideas?

Thanks

     Found the problem.  When upgrading to a version of Samba that 
supported LDAP I got a new configuration file and didn't notice that 
the line "map to guest = Bad User" was not in the new configuration 
file. 
     Putting that in fixed the problem.
