[KLUG Members] getting samba share completely anonymous

[Mark Bystry]

Adam,

  I know this isn't helping you at all and this program isn't even for Linux...but...I use a program 
called Streamsicle to stream my directory full of mp3's to my fellow coworkers. It takes less than 2 
minutes to set it up. It runs on an extra Win98 box that I don't use anymore. Everyone thinks it's 
the bee's knees around here...

  I just thought maybe you would be interested...http://streamsicle.com/
