Yes, there is. What you want is the guest user mode. In this mode, all users
who are not explicitly logged in to the server are logged in automatically
to a default account. The default account is configured in the Sharity GUI
in section "CIFS Servers". Add an entry for your server and set the fields
"Remote Guest User Name" and "Guest User's Password" appropriately. If your
users need to access multiple servers and the same account with the same
password should be used on all of them, you can also set the account name
and password for the ".default" server entry. Please note that the password
will be stored in clear text in a file.

The guest user mode circumvents the requirement to log in to the server for
ALL users. If only one user (or a small number of users) should be able to
log in without providing a password, you can consider storing this user's
password with 'cifsstore'. See 'cifsstore -man' for details.
