I added the following to [publicShare]
guest ok = true
guest account = nobody
guest only = true
I then restarted samba.
However, Im still getting challenged for a user name / password when trying
to connect?
Is there something else I need to do?
Thanks,
Dave

you're missing the
guest ok = yes
in your section. From smb.conf
Sections may be designated guest services, in which case no
password is required to access them. A specified UNIX guest
account is used to define access privileges in this case.
