[Samba] cant set up a no password login

[Brian Wiese]

I think you want to send this back to the list (cc'd), and not just
myself. So, is it working now... or not?  Yes samba must run as root first
to bind to those low ports 137-139 and such... there was a big
vulnerablitiy lately in samba, so make sure you have an up to date/patched
version.  As you did below, you can only run "smbclient -L //hostname" not
just that without the -L, if you want to browse a share with smbclient you
need "smbclient //hostname/sharename".  I prefer to just attempt to mount
the stuff though (smbmount, mount -t smbfs //path/share /mnt/point)
