samba - Aug 2006 - I think CIFS is severely broken

I am running samba-3.0.23b-2 On both my server and laptop. I can't for the 
life of me write to the mounted shares.

I have tried every possible combination to mount the shares and still cannot 
write to them.

Also, I keep getting an error at boot: mounting cifs filesystem error 13 
opening credentials file.

But it doesn't complain about it if I mount the shares manually after the 
system starts up. I even changed the permissions to 777 and it still 
complains.

I also found out that any password will mount the shares! Is this me or is 
this a very bad thing?

Last but not least, there is one thing I can think of that might be the 
culprit, but I highly doubt it, My server is running the 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 
kernel and my laptop is running the 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5 kernel.

Could anyone give me some insight on this? I've been trying to get this to 
work since Monday.

Thanks
David M.

Sounds like the server is allowing guest access.
Doesn't sound like a client bug to me.
