Have this line in your smb.conf:
guest ok = Yes
Put it under the global or share section.
You must also make sure the user guest is mapped to an existing
Linux user. Red Hat's default /etc/samba/smbusers has already
mapped the samba guest to the user "nobody"; you only need to
have this line under the global section of smb.conf:
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
Hope this helps,
