SAMBA networking

I have 3 win95 computers, and 1 red hat linux machine. i have samba running on the linux machine, but every time i click on it's name from the network neighborhood on the win95 machines, it asks for a password. could someone tell me what i have to change in my smb.conf to get rid of the password to access my shared stuff (THIS IS NOT A SHARE PASSWORD, It comes up when i click on the computer name from the network neighborhood)
i have tried a few things, so if you want the full 700 points, please give me several different answers IF POSSIBLE.
thanx

Yes. I believe you need to activate your samba users by doing a
smbpasswd -a username

This will allow your users access to the Samba Server and all of its resources. Make sure they use the exact same login and password combination when starting Windows 95/98 that you use for your Samba users.

If you are using your Samba Server as a Wins Server you need to add that info to your TCPIP settings of your Ethernet in the Network config applet found in Control Panel.
