You may also need to set a "guest account" in the globals section,  this
is the UID samba uses for anonymous connections - it MUST be a valid
POSIX account.  CIFS uses an anonymous connection to the IPC$ share when
one machine enumerates the resources on another, so lack of a valid
guest account will break everything.
