Couple quick questions (maybe ;)

I have a couple questions:

	1) how can i allow users who are previously authenticated against
	an NT server to print to a shared printer without being prompt for
	a password? If i remove the "guest ok" or "public" (set them to
	"no"), then the users get prompted for a password. They have
	not authenticated against the samba server, just the NT domain
	controller. is this possible?

	2) is it possible to get a list of available workstations on
	a subnet using the broadcast address? or do i need to specify
	a WINS-server/workstation to be able to see everyone else?
	currently, using a small script i wrote, i can find most people
	by calling "nmblookup -B 123.123.255.255 workstation" to get
	the IP, and then call "smbclient -I -L ip_address workstation" to
	get a listing of shares for that workstation, and it lists some
	other workstations as well. just curious if there is a command
	that uses the broadcast to query all computers in that subnet
	and can return a list of those computers.

Just a couple questions, and hoping each is possible :)

Thanx much!
