I did read the man pages all through, but I'm lost! After struggling for 4 days, I decided to step back to samba-2.2.9, where everything works fine!

Did you try the other options for 'map to guest'?

For example, "Bad User" implies that if connecting as an *existing* user, that maptoguest will never apply.

said manpage says "Bad Uid" was the default behavior of Samba 2.x releases. but you already knew that, right? (-: Did you you try
map to guest = Bad Uid

Now what does the samba logs say when trying to connect (and it fails)? I see no reference to any "public" share in the previous logs you posted.

'net use n: \\smbs1\public' on Windows XP, always asks for a password.
'smbmount //smbs1/public /mnt/public -o password=' does not.
This all used to work fine under Redhat-9 and Samba-2.2

       map to guest = Bad User

man smb.conf, read up on the options available for 'map to guest'.
