I didn't find anything helpful there. I've checked the smbclient man page. The only time it mentions the guest account is under the -U option which says something to the effect that the guest account is used when the USER and LOGNAME environment variables are not present. I set these as well as trying some other suggestions found there (the PASSWD environment variable and the -A option), but without a password, smbclient treats the attempt as an anonymous login despite being given a different, valid username.
Any other ideas?
