Hi Ryan,
I am not authenticating to any Windows server, I just have the samba server itself set up with 3 users who an login.

Paul,
Are you using a Windows PDC or ADS to authenticate your Samba shares? If so, the problem would not be with Samba, but with the authenticating server.

Hi there,
I'm unclear on this warning I got from NeWT when I scanned my Linux workstation. Could someone clarify for me if I should be worried?
Thanks,

It was possible to log into the remote host using the following
login/password combinations :
'administrator'/''
'administrator'/'administrator'
'guest'/''
'guest'/'guest'
It was possible to log into the remote host using a NULL session. The concept of a NULL session is to provide a null username and a null password, which grants the user the 'guest' access
To prevent null sessions, see MS KB Article Q143474 (NT 4.0) and Q246261 (Windows 2000). Note that this won't completely disable null sessions, but will prevent them from connecting to IPC$ Please see http://msgs.securepoint.com/cgi-bin/get/nessus-0204/50/1.html
The remote host defaults to guest when a user logs in using an invalid login. For instance, we could log in using the account 'nessus/nessus'
All the smb tests will be done as ''/'whatever' in domain ALUMNI_HOUSE
