Having to be explicit about IPC$

[Sanders, Peter]

	I'm running Linux 2.0.30 with versions of Samba from 1.9.18p4 on and
am now running 2.0.2.

	I have found that people on our network who do not have an entry in
the smbpasswd file on my Linux box cannot browse the Linux box.  When
they make an attempt to do so, they are prompted:
"Password for IPC$"  or similar.
	I can overcome this by adding an entry to my smb.conf as follows.

[IPC$]
public = yes


Is this normal behaviour?
