samba - Aug 2002 - Need a 'no password required' configuration

I am trying to set up a smb.conf file so that a user and password are NOT
required to access the share.

Can someone tell me how to do this?

net use p: \\sambaserver\public

asks for a password, then returns (regardless of the password or user):
"The account is not authorized to login form this
station.

Thanks,
.

I think you'll be doing well with 'security = share' in [global] and
then
'guest only = yes' and 'guest ok = yes' in the share definition.

All off the top of me head, mind =)

gdh

This is what works for me.

[global]
	name resolve order = lmhosts wins bcast hosts
        encrypt passwords = yes 
	netbios name = HAMMER2
	netbios aliases = gateway
	interfaces = 192.168.0.2 
	security = SHARE
	log level = 3 
	guest account = ftp
	hosts allow = 192.168.  127.0.0. 
	strict sync = Yes

[AllFiles]
	comment = All Files
	path = /
	read only = no 
	guest ok = yes
