I've followed instructions in the ethernet HOW-TO for configuring Linux
(redhat 5.2) to share w/ windows machines. So far, I'm able to smbclient to
all the windows shares, but when accessing the Linux machine from network
nieghboorhood, I cannot access the server without it prompting me for a
password.. I don't have something configured correctly, and need some info
on where to set the proper values to allow windows to browse my linux
machine.

In the smb.conf file, I get really confused with all the options.
How can I share my /user/doc folder so that i can access the files
contained within from my windows machine?

Thanks for the help, in advance!

NT uses encrypted passwords, SAMBA per default unencrypted ones.
Change the SAMBA options (see Encryption.txt in the SAMBA sources).
