[ALUG] Samba question/problem

[Chris G]

I have Samba installed and working on my Fedora system, it mostly does
what I expect but one entry doesn't.  My smb.conf file has:-

    # global section
       default service = default
       encrypt passwords = yes
       null passwords = yes
       workgroup = IBMPEERS
       nt acl support = no

    [snip]

    #
    #
    #  ISBD, user is set to isbd to allow read/write
    #
    [isbd]
        comment = ISBD
        force user = isbd
        path = /home/isbd
        guest ok = yes
        writable = yes



By my reading of the smb.conf manual page that should allow anyone in
to access /home/isbd, it should make them act as the user 'isbd' and
it should give write access.  (Remember this is a home intranet, two
users, who both want access to the ISBD files)


In practice when connecting from XP I always seem to have to enter a
valid password to get access.


In general what's the easiest way to make Samba shares appear in XP
'automagically' without having to enter passwords etc.?
