hosts.equiv rsh & SMB share access

[Brian Ford <Brian dot Ford at flightsafety dot com>]

I know this isn't supposed to work unless the share is public.  I'm
not concerned about security and want to do exactly that.  I have done
it successfully under Samba by using share level security and setting
guest_ok for the sahre.  What I can't seem to figure out is how to do
it under Windows XP Professional.  I've tried simple file sharing read
only and full acesss, regular file sharing with all read privledges for
Everyone, etc.  Does anyone know how to do this?

Also:

$ rsh client
Last login: Sun Nov  6 14:48:18 from somehost
Fanfare!!!
You are successfully logged in to this server!!!

$ net use \\\\server\\share /USER:guest ""
System error 1312 has occurred.

A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been
terminated.

but,

$ rsh client 'net use \\\\server\\share /USER:guest ""'
The command completed successfully.

Huh?
