In which case, what ever user is going to connect to the Samba server
will need to exist on it, as both a Unix & Samba user. The user will
need to have the same password everywhere.

If the user is just copying the files from the Samba share to the
windows machine and then running them, the anonymous user way should
work, but it will depend on the permissions being set correctly,
both in smb.conf and on the Unix machine, I would start by checking
that the Unix permisions are set to 777
