I don't think so, but...

What's happening is, I'm using smbclient to connect from the linux machine to the 
windows 
machine. The account on the windows machine has no password. When I try to connect 
using 
that account, then it fails, and smbclient prints something about an anonymous login 
succeeding. However, if I give the account a password and try to connect, it works... 
no 
message about anonymous logon.

On the surface, it _seems_ that smbclient maps an account with no password to an 
anonymous 
user. I suspect that that's probably not the case, but I'm hoping someone can tell me 
what 
the expected/intended behavior in this situation is and even how to correct it if it 
is 
indeed a problem.

I'll let you make that call. :) It's XP.
