Samba won't share.

I'm trying to get samba to share a printer and some directories without requiring a user/password. It will be used by just a few computers so I don't want to bother with passwords. Here's my smb.conf

[global]
netbios name = ER-GENTOO
workgroup = WORKGROUP
;security = user
;encrypt passwords = yes
[tmp]
path =/tmp
read only = no

When I try to access it I get an error...

smbclient //er-gentoo/tmp
added interface ip=192.168.0.3 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Got a positive name query response from 192.168.0.3 ( 192.168.0.3 )
Password:
Anonymous login successful
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.7a]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD

using the -N option of smbclient fails with the same error. None of the samba documentation I've read even covers authentication with nor without passwords. Any ideas?

Do you have "ldap" enabled in your USE variables? If so, and if you're not actually using ldap authentication, try remerging samba without ldap, either by removing it in your make.conf file or by doing:
