I have just set up Samba on a CentOS 5 machine. It works OK, but I would like to configure it so that users can connect to Samba shares without the need to provide a user name and password. I have googled for a smb.conf reference but documentation seems to be quite scattered and not comprehensive. Can somebody explain how to achieve this? Many thanks.

I'm using
in smb.conf.
This seems to be enough for passwordless access. The computers belong to the same workgroup, but I don't know if this is a mandatory requirement.
