I am trying to share two directories on a Linux machines with all the
recently upgraded Windows XP machines at work. "Share1" should be
read-only and not need a password to view the contents. "Share2" should be
closed off and only available to 2-3 specific users. I set everything up
ok and it seems to work correctly with the old Windows 2000 set-up, the
only problem I'm having is that no matter what directory I access (share1
or share2) a username and password prompt pops up. I only need the
username/password prompt to come up for share2, and not share1. Even
though it pops up for share1, if the user leaves the username and password
blank, it will get through. Now this set up was fine and dandy with our
Win 2000 machines, but now that we upgraded all the machines to Win XP, XP
will not let you put a blank username and password, so I have to solve the
problem with the Samba server.
