That's an interesting point - what username do the Samba clients connect as? Is it just a null string? > I wish for a way to get windows to try to connect anonymously, to > connect as a guest, not as a user named Guest. IIRC this is what Win9x does. If your username and password don't work, it connects anonymously. The problem with this is that when you access a server and you want to log on with a different username you can't, because Win9x goes ahead and connects anonymously, never giving you a chance to enter in a different username. The only way this would work is if the XP username/password box popped up on the screen as it does now, but there was an extra button or something for "connect as a guest" - but then I guess you could emulate that behaviour as we discussed above by creating an account called Guest - not as nice but it should do the same job.
