   Stated another way, it helps to have a "common" account just   
   for the purposes of keeping File Sharing happy. It is easier   
   for the operator to remember, at login time.   
      
   While there is a tick box for a password-less share, there   
   are sufficient reports about not being able to log in, that   
   the option likely isn't a good idea.   
      
   The "bullwinkle" account (which I use for Linux installs),   
   is also my common account for File Sharing.   
      
   Since the error at the moment, is one of Network Path Not Found,   
   I don't think it is getting tested on credentials just yet. First   
   it has to connect, before it can be rejected on credentials :-)
