[Samba] Guest account access not working on Samba 3 with User modesecurity????

[Mansell, Gary]

Hi,

I have a Samba server (samba-3.0.24-5.) that I have just transitioned
from Samba v2 to v3 and at the same time I have changed from share mode
security to user mode security.

I having problems allowing guest access to some of my shares on the
server. I have some shares (such as apps and cdrom etc) that I would
like to allow anyone to access - even if they do not have a login
account on the Samba server. This worked fine in share mode security but
does not seem to work in user mode security.

If a user (who does not have a login account on the Samba server) tries
to map a guest share, the user gets presented with a login dialog asking
for a password for the Guest account - how can I just allow access
without the user being asked for a password?

Here is my smb.conf including a guest only share for the cdrom.

Any help gratefully received

Regards

Gary
