I am not able to access Linux files from windows using samba without username and password authentication. It is always asking for username and password.

Is there a way to access linuxLinux files without any authentication  (not even first time).

so that Anyone can access..

Is there any suggestion?

from My smb.confmy smb.conf file.

I have put,

security = share guest account = nobody

[home] comment = Home Directory

browseable=no here hides homes,but displays a scetion with username;(refer man

browseable = yes read only = no create mask = 0777 directory mask = 0777 path = / guest ok = yes

valid users = %S

security = share
guest account = nobody

[home]
  comment = Home Directory
# browseable=no here hides homes,but displays a scetion with username;(refer man
  browseable = yes
  read only = no
  create mask = 0777
  directory mask = 0777
  path = /
  guest ok = yes
# valid users = %S
