[Samba] Access to a share resource without password

[J. L. Cabral]

OK, with Wolfgang advice I do:

[global]
        workgroup = G-BAPRO.NET
        server string = Samba Server Version %v
        netbiosname = bangkok
        security = user
        smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
        guest account = guest
[share]
        guest ok = yes
        path = /var/share
        writeable = yes

and execute from Windows desktop:

net use Z: \\bangkok\share

after that I put user=guest and password=1234

but I CAN'T ACCESS

"guest" is the name of a local Linux account and it's a samba user
(smbpasswd -a guest with pass "1234").

What can I do ???

Regards
