This may be of help:
One of the less understood samba settings is the map to guest
parameter. If you want to truly make a share public, you will want to
set it browseable, and you will want to use map to guest = bad user
so that a user with no password in /etc/passwd or /etc/smb/smbpasswd
will be able to access that share. Of course, this should ONLY be used
for zero security situations.

Having problems with Mdk 9 and hoping for some help. Installed very
smoothly on my Presario 711, seems to be overheating a little less
than RH 7.3, sound works, found my smb printer, etc.. But, very
strange, in RH 7.3 I can easily copy files from other linux box or
either win machine using "smb://<hostname>"; this does not work so
well in Mandrake and when it does, i.e. shows me the other shares, the
drop down no longer has "copy to" only "copy" (to clipboard) and when
I try to past to my home directory it asks for pass words, none of
which work.
