Earlier in the smb.conf file, did you uncomment the
guest account setting? Did you add anything to the
smbpasswd file? What about the settings for the
owner & group for the directroy /mnt/archives on
your rive? Are they set to root or something else
like nobody or guest?
I'll give your above settings a try. It looks pretty
similar to what I already tried. No matter what
I do, it's always looking for a password and then
fails to connect.
