    ok story is i've a fedora 5 box with samba running,

    when i connect from any pc on the lan it requests a username and password

    how can i bypass this i've tried loads

    heres my smb.conf file


    Contents of smb.conf


    # workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name
    workgroup = mshome

    # server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
    server string = mad bollox


    ; hosts allow = 192.168.1. 192.168.2. 127.

    # This option tells cups that the data has already been rasterized
    cups options = raw

    # Uncomment this if you want a guest account, you must add this to /etc/passwd
    # otherwise the user "nobody" is used
    ; guest account = pcguest

    # this tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine
    # that connects
    log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
    # all log information in one file
    # log file = /var/log/samba/log.smbd

    # Put a capping on the size of the log files (in Kb).
    max log size = 50

    # Security mode. Most people will want user level security. See
    # security_level.txt for details.
    ; security = user
    # Use password server option only with security = server
    ; password server = <NT-Server-Name>

    # Password Level allows matching of _n_ characters of the password for
    # all combinations of upper and lower case.
    ; password level = 8
    ; username level = 8

    ; encrypt passwords = yes
    ; smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd

    ; unix password sync = Yes
    ; passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
    ; passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *ReType*new*UNIX*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*

    # Unix users can map to different SMB User names
    ; username map = /etc/samba/smbusers

    # Using the following line enables you to customise your configuration
    # on a per machine basis. The %m gets replaced with the netbios name
    # of the machine that is connecting
    ; include = /etc/samba/smb.conf.%m

    # Most people will find that this option gives better performance.
    # See speed.txt and the manual pages for details
    socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192

    # a specific host or from / to a whole subnet (see below)

    # Cause this host to announce itself to local subnets here
    ; remote announce = 192.168.1.255 192.168.2.44

    # Browser Control Options:

    # elections. The default value should be reasonable
    ; os level = 33

    # allows Samba to collate browse lists between subnets. Don't use this
    # if you already have a Windows NT domain controller doing this job

    # and gives it a slightly higher chance of winning the election
    ; preferred master = yes

    # Enable this if you want Samba to be a domain logon server for
    # Windows95 workstations.

    # if you enable domain logons then you may want a per-machine or
    # per user logon script

    # All NetBIOS names must be resolved to IP Addresses
    # 'Name Resolve Order' allows the named resolution mechanism to be specified
    # the default order is "host lmhosts wins bcast". "host" means use the unix
    # system gethostbyname() function call that will use either /etc/hosts OR
    # DNS or NIS depending on the settings of /etc/host.config, /etc/nsswitch.conf
    # and the /etc/resolv.conf file. "host" therefore is system configuration
    # dependant. This parameter is most often of use to prevent DNS lookups
    # in order to resolve NetBIOS names to IP Addresses. Use with care!
    # The example below excludes use of name resolution for machines that are NOT
    # on the local network segment
    # - OR - are not deliberately to be known via lmhosts or via WINS.

    ; wins server = w.x.y.z

    # WINS Proxy - Tells Samba to answer name resolution queries on
    # behalf of a non WINS capable client, for this to work there must be
    # at least one WINS Server on the network. The default is NO.
    ; wins proxy = yes

    # DNS Proxy - tells Samba whether or not to try to resolve NetBIOS names
    # via DNS nslookups. The built-in default for versions 1.9.17 is yes,
    # this has been changed in version 1.9.18 to no.

    at work now but ill post mine when i get home, sounds like its similar to what your looking for

    I presume that you just want guest connection to SHANE.

    When you say guest ok = yes, you are asking users to login as guest, which is awkward on XP.

    I think that removing the semicolon from
    guest account = nobody

    and adding just below, the line

    map to guest = Bad User

    Should mean than unrecognised or canceled logins (windows sending default credentials) will set unauthorised users as the guest user.

    [global]
    	workgroup = WORKGROUP
    	security = share
    	server string = wtf!?! omg!! bbq :D
    	netbios name = w1ndow
    	wins support = yes
    
    [(' ',)]
    	path = /home/computer/share_stuff/
    	comment = "(' ',)"
    	guest ok = yes
    	browseable = yes
    	read only = yes
    [^_^]
    	path = /home/computer/movies_tv/
    	comment = "movies and tv"
    	guest ok = yes
    	browsable = yes
    	read only = yes
    

    thats mine, change the paths to suit your own setup
