Hi, I'm using 3.0.21b and I cannot get the guest account to work.

some of smb.conf:

------------------------------
   security = user
   hosts allow = 192.168.2. 127.
   guest account = visiteur
   log level = 2
   log file = /var/log/samba/samba.%m
   max log size = 1024
   socket options = TCP_NODELAY

[publique]
   path = /vol2/samba/publique
   browseable = yes
   guest ok = yes
------------------------------

# grep visiteur /etc/passwd 
visiteur:*:1009:1013:Samba guest user:/home/visiteur:/bin/sh

When on Win2k when I click the server icon the pop-up box appears and I
put in "visiteur" for user and a blank for password the server's log
says:

------------------------------

------------------------------

"My Name" is the logon name to this windows box that comes up
automatically when the system is booted.

But I am successful when I try from the command line on the server
itself:

# smbclient \\\\nemex\\publique
Password: 
Anonymous login successful
Domain=[PLATEAU] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.21b]
smb: \> exit

------------------------------
# tail -15 /var/log/samba/nemex

[2006/03/15 17:42:54, 2] smbd/server.c:exit_server(614)
  Closing connections
------------------------------

How can I get access to the guest account from the windows box?
