User access to CIFS/SMB shares ...

[softfoot]

I have setup a CIFS/SMB share and setup a user with a password and have to logon to access the files.

I would prefer to not have to log into the share at all - but was unable to figure out how to do this.

Can anyone suggest how to setup a share that is accessible by anyone - yes I know that could be a risk, but there is only little me on the network and I think I can trust him

TIA

the user and password have to be the same as the windows user and password

Won't the guest a/c allow anonymous access ??
Is there no way to avoid being challenged for username/password ??
TIA
