In order to set up file sharing for the Asus Oplay
media player I followed instructions to create
a shared directory. I followed these steps which
I found via google search:

groupadd smbguest
useradd -g smbguest -d/dev/null -s /bin/false smbguest

Then I created the file /etc/samba/smb.conf:
[global]
guest account = smbguest
netbios name = bb
security = share
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY
workgroup = WORKGROUP

[public]
guest ok = yes
guest only = yes
path = /samba.ok
read only = no

[cdrom]
fake oplocks = yes
guest ok = yes
guest only = yes
path = /cdrom
read only = yes

On my LAN the particular machine is 10.0.0.22

Sure enough, now the Asus media player can access the
directory /samba.ok.

All of the above was done by simply following an example.

Now I would like to access this directory from another
machine on the LAN. Accordingly I tried:

mount -t cifs //10.0.0.22/samba.ok /mnt -o username=smbguest,guest

and I get:
retrying with upper case share name
mount error(6): No such device or address
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

The shared directory was created without a password. If I
leave off the ,guest I get prompted for a password and
I have none to enter.

Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?
TIA

What tells

smbclient -N -L 10.0.0.22

It should show the Samba names of the shares; in this case perhaps

public disk
cdrom disk

Try this command with the Samba share name "public" instead of the Linux
directory name "samba.ok".

man smbpasswd?

Perhaps use a credentials file too.

Thanks Helmut, that did it.

Thanks for responding. Helmut showed me the way:
mount -t cifs -o username=smbguest,guest //10.0.0.22/public /mnt
