I have `guest account = nobody' and smb says:

SMB Password - pwlen = 24, challenge_done = 1
Checking SMB password for user nobody (l=24)
get_smbpwd_entry: skipping comment or blank line
get_smbpwd_entry: skipping comment or blank line
get_smbpwd_entry: skipping comment or blank line
Couldn't find user nobody in smb_passwd file.

I can see it there although it doesn't have a password (just the
XXXX..)  If I set a password smbd finds it but the login fails.
I must be missing something very simple ..

Cheers and many thanks for the response,
Greg.
