You need to do a few things if you want absolutely no security whatsoever. First you
need a security=share line in your smb.conf file. Then you need to setup a guest
account, like "nobody", and point to it using guest account= in your smb.conf file.
Finally all of your mapped shares need to have the option guest ok=yes. If you do all
of this you should never see a password dialog box when you connect.
