Now I think I get it - YOU are Duke's dad, eh?
I couldn't find the speed.txt referred to in the smb.conf example file so I googled it and found this: http://www.dd.iij4u.or.jp/~okuyamak/Doc ... glish.html I guess its a translation of a Japanese page but I got the gist ...... I did notice that they seemed to think there might be some significant performance differences with some NICs if the setting was 8576 instead of 8192. I had no idea of what that meant or why or in which situation (dependant upon mss or something ?????) so I ran away and posted my question.
I think I'll just leave it alone for now........

Puppy-to-Puppy LAN with Samba
The password thing is controlled be the line in the global section: security = share , or security = user
security = user is the normal setup & requires a user password, security = share is not secure... but I use it.
Also in global is needed: guest account = root
In the share definations for no password add the line:
public = yes (and/or) only guest = yes
browseable = yes (makes the share show up in a listing.
