[gentoo-user] Access WDTLIVE Anonymous share from Linux

Hi,

I have a very great stuff at home called WDTV Live Media server. This is a
linux based machine offering some media services to the local network. Also
offering external drives as shares unfortunately only with anonymous access

I think because os security reasons this is disabled in linux (great idea
:)), so I can access this external drive only from windows

the error message when I try to use for example smbtree as the follows

Server requested LANMAN password (share-level security) but 'client lanman
auth' is disabled
failed tcon_X with NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

If I issue the same command with the -N parameter it is working fine

 \\WDTVLIVE                      WDTV LIVE
                \\WDTVLIVE\IPC$                 IPC Service (WDTV LIVE)
                \\WDTVLIVE\Laca_WD_Terra_1      Laca_WD_Terra_1

But it is not working neither from dolphin, smb4k, or from mount.cifs

how can I instruct these programs to use "anonymous" login first or at least
try to use it if authentication is not succeed

My samba version is

[I] net-fs/samba

Have you tried:
   smbmount {service} {mount-point} -o username=guest
?
