[Samba] Domain Users Get Login Prompt with Guest grayed out

We are running Samba v1.2 with Unix  v3.2 kernal 5.0.6

 

I am a complete newbie at Unix/Samba.

 

Samba is not a domain controller

 

PC users (Windows XP Pro SP2) logged into the domain are getting prompted
for a guest password.  When the username prompt pops up, the username is
defaulted to guest and is grayed out.

 

If a person logs into the local machine on a pc instead of logging into the
domain they are able to access samba and browse the shares directly without
getting the login prompt.

 

I need domain users to be able to login without a password and without
getting password prompt.

 

My smb.conf:

 

; Sample Configuration file for smbd.

; 16/04/97 JSB v1.2

;
============================================================================

; For the format of this file and comprehensive descriptions of all the

; configuration option, please refer to the man page for smb.conf(5).
