The first version of the SAMBA-VMS FAQ can be found on the OpenVMS 
Freeware V 5.0 CD-ROM set in the SAMBA directory.  A copy can be found 
at a link from http://www.openvms.compaq.com/

A second version of the SAMBA-VMS FAQ was posted on comp.os.vms and in 
the samba topic in the VMS conference on Encompasserve.org.

I attempted to post it to this list, but for some reason it appears that 
the posting failed.

A search with http://www.google.com should turn up at least one link to it.

I suspect that version of SAMBA-VMS can not deal with someone connecting 
  from a non-guest account with that does not have a password.

I do not know if any version of SAMBA can on any platform for that matter.
