Thanks for the help. The "nobody" account was available by default in /etc/passwd. This is for a home setup, and don't have a Windows7 to test.
Some feedback: 1. After adding "security = user" to the [global] section, killing and restarting smbd/nmbd, XP still returns System error 1326 "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password." when typing "net view" 2. After adding "map to guest" to the [global] section, I now get "System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied." FWIW, here's the "nobody" line in /etc/passwd: nobody:x:99:99:nobody:/:/bin/false If possible, I'd rather not have to add a user in /etc/passwd and a password through smbpasswd just to share a few read-only files.
