Title:
  public Samba SMB shares cannot be accessed anonymously from Windows
  XP, a password prompt appears

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “samba” source package in Hardy:
  Fix Released
Status in “samba” package in Baltix:

Bug description:
  For a given share created in the GNOME GUI, the resulting stanza in
  smb.conf looks like the following:

  [foo]
  path = /home/bar/baz/foo
  available = yes
  browsable = yes
  public = yes
  writable = no

  The expected result of such a stanza is a passwardless public share,
  whether it was created in the GUI or manually added to smb.conf.  It
  already works properly like that when accessed from Nautilus, but when
  a Windows XP client accesses the share, a username/password prompt
  appears.

  Adding "map to guest = Bad User" to smb.conf (as mentioned in the
  comments) allows Windows XP clients to access these public shares
  without being prompted, without breaking the security model for
  nonpublic shares.
