I want to setup samba so I can access folders from windows with out a user name or password required. I have slackware with no gui. I've been using webmin to control everything. What settings do I need to set to make this happen??

Thanks

Brian
 
In your smb.conf you can use the following parameters:
guest account = UnixName
force group = UnixGroup
force user = UnixName
security = share
null passwords = yes

Hope This Helps, PH.
