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

[Gary Dale]

Right now, you have no access to the domain accounts. And your domain
probably has guest access disabled, hence the lack of access when logged
into the domain.

I'd suggest using SWAT to set up your server as a member server in the
domain. Rather than making the accounts wide open, use the domain groups
to control access to the shares.

Your smb.conf looks rather sparse in the global area. You may want to
look into the docs for other entries you may need. Try SWAT's help files.
