[luau] Mandrake 9 and Presario 711

[Jeff Mings]

This may be of help:

    One of the less understood samba settings is the     map to guest   
 parameter.  If you want to truly make a share public, you will want to 
set it browseable, and you will want to use   map to guest = bad user 
 so that a user with no password in /etc/passwd or  /etc/smb/smbpasswd 
will be able to access that share.  Of course, this should ONLY be used 
for zero security situations.
