I've searched and found others with the same needs, but the solutions don't seem to help me. Here's the latest version of the config file that I've been hacking at:

I don't want any prompting for username/passwords. Is this possible with ADS? Thanks! Also, logfiles show that when users initially browse for the share, and they are without accounts on the Samba server, the following is logged: Username <domain\username> is invalid on this system.
Bradley,
I use security = ads, map to guest = Bad User, and winbind/rid in my
global config. The default guest account is "nobody", and the user
"nobody" exists on the system.
For completeness, I tested on a joined system and a system not joined to
the domain. The following share config works on both.
[SPU_KC_GIS]
comment = SPU King County GIS
path = /mnt
read only = yes
guest only = yes
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
