Samba logon without authentication

Basically, I'm using a Samba server on our LAN that is not part of a
domain. I basically want it to just be a simple file server with no
authentication what so ever because this LAN is for our service
department and there are constantly PC's going on and off of it. I
haven't figured this out yet. I have the server working fine, but to
access any shares, you must login. Is there a way to disable any
authenticaion?

That sounds like the samba 'guest' feature -- do you have
guest ok
in your shares of interest, and in the global section, above the first share,
guest account=root
or whatever non-root account your personal paranoia levels will permit,
down in redhat file smb.conf?
