Joel,
Thanks for the config file, I will go through it at length and see what
else I can learn. I probably should have mentioned that I did run through
the diagnosis in the samba docs. Everything hums along fine until step 8
where one is supposed to try "net view \\BIGSERVER".
Here I get the invalid password message, when prompted to enter a password,
I can try a valid one or just hit enter, either way Win gives me an Error
5: You do not have the proper rights to access this blah blah.....
It is especially frustrating since I can do the same thing on a 'nix
machine eg: smbclient -L //BIGSERVER and when prompted for the password,
press enter and I get the list of active shares on BIGSERVER.
I am continuing to hunt for the best way to do totally anonymous access for
this. I will keep hunting on the lists and reading posts.
Thanks!

| [AllFiles]
| comment = All Files
| path = /
| read only = No
| guest ok = Yes

| My lp in /etc/printcap is:
| lp|LP|z53-outfiles:\
| :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
| :mx#0:\
| :lp=/dev/lp0:\
| :sh:rw:
|
| I am not certain if the rw does any good (open printer for reading and
| writing) but it might. Notice there is no filter in this definition.
