Blank password allowed for network shares?

[Guest bredelet]

I would like to know if Windows XP and Vista clients can connect to a

non-Microsoft Samba server with a blank password. The server holds the users

in LDAP.

 

This document indicates that the users cannot log in as network users in

that case:

However I do not know if that applies to mapping drives as well.

You should be able to log on to the Samba resource with blank password -

the restriction you're referring to is for network access _to_ Windows.
