I've had trouble with that too, although on mine it
required a password but nothing would work unless they
actually had an account on the machine.
I finally got this entry to more or less work:
# Archives directory.
[archives]
comment = Archives of many things.
path = /mnt/archives
browseable = yes
writable = no
printable = no
public = yes
user = guest
The makes my (normally NFS) archives share open to
windows users so they can pull down files just as
easily.
