[Samba] help needed

[Joel Hammer]

I don't see encrypt(ed?)  passwords = yes or some such. What sort of
windows client is this?

You have guest ok = yes but you have not defined a guest account. This
is likely a problem. Try guest account = ftp in your globals section.

I don't have any experience with smbusers.  Therefore, I don't know if
marcu will be recognized as marcus by the samba server.
