hey friends,

I am trying to allow anonymous or guest to some of the samba shares and also
to the samba printer on FC3. The SELinux is off and iptables are setup with
the rules to allow samba access.On Windows 2003 guest access is enabled but
whenever I try to access the samba shares from Windows Clients as guest I am
not able to access those shares.Otherwise with the normal user account no
problem in accessing any shares.

The error that is logged everytime I tried to access with the guest account.
