Samba Config problem in RHEL-5

Nagu SR — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 03:03:41 GMT

Hi,
I have installed Samba 3.0.33-3.14.el5 version in RHEL-5 server.
The procedure I used to configure samba is as below

--Installed RPMS samba*, krb5*,
--Edited smb.conf file (attched my smb config file)
-- Ensured proper settings in /etc/nsswitch.conf
-- removed /etc/krb5.conf
-- started winbind and smb service
-- removed /etc/samba/secrets.tdb
-- Successfully Added server to AD by issuing command net ads join -U Administrator
-- Restarted samba and winbind service
-- Confirmed domain user and group information by `wbinfo -u` and `wbinfo -d`

I face below problem after configuration. I have shared /appl DIR. I want every user in the domain to get the read access for the DIR. But when I browse my server through windows system, it asks me a username and passwd. I dont want server to prompt any authentication when I browse.

Is it possible to achieve in RHEL-5? If so can anyone please guide me?

ADS as security, Kerberos needs be configured.
