Yes, you need to set option cifs.guest_account and ensure that this Unix user maps to some Windows user which should be considered guest.

simsim> options cifs.guest_account nobody

simsim> cifs sessions

Server Registers as 'SIMSIM' in workgroup 'WORKGROUP'

Root volume language is not set. Use vol lang.

Using Local Users authentication

====================================================

PC IP(PC Name) (user) #shares #files
