Networking :: Another Samba Question

larkl - thanks for the contribution. It would be better to use password protection when setting this up. But I do have a couple of questions.

I am assuming that the windows' user name must NOT contain spaces even though windows allows this, the linux side would not be happy. Is this right?

If I set it up this way do I need to supply a password when accessing my linux shares or am I automaticly able to get at the share without the password?

Does this configuration work for a shared printer as well as shared files?

Thanks.

Ok here is where I'm at, when i open My Network places on my Windows machine, it shouws my share, when I open the share I get the log in screen, the user name is greyed out with RIVETT(thatsmy workgroup)\Guest. i can not change the user name it wont let me...
