[Samba] smbclient thinks passwordless account is anonymous

[John Tyner]

	I didn't find anything helpful there. I've checked the smbclient man 
page. The only time it mentions the guest account is under the -U option 
which says something to the effect that the guest account is used when 
the USER and LOGNAME environment variables are not present. I set these 
as well as trying some other suggestions found there (the PASSWD 
environment variable and the -A option), but without a password, 
smbclient treats the attempt as an anonymous login despite being given a 
different, valid username.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
John
