Create Windows-accessible Public shares via Samba
Authored by: ework on Oct 07, '05 11:46:08AM

Another way to use "guest" which doesn't require changes in NetInfo or even prompts for a password on Windows is the following in your global section. This is taken from a Linux box but samba is samba. The only change required, though likely not neccessary, is "nobody" -> "@nobody" for reasons mentioned in the hint.

[global]
guest ok = yes
guest account = nobody
map to guest = bad user
