Add user for smb

So I understand LE does not need a username or password when accessing smb shares on the LE, and I did manage to write-protect some shares.

The bad thing is, I have a network printerscannercoffemachinefax which is configured to save scanned documents automatically to a shared smb folder.

And that smart piece of technology can't connect to the LE-smb-share when I leave the user and password entries blank.

When I enter "root" and the password, everything works fine. But of course that's not the way to go.

So, is there a way (besides from compiling yourself, which is out of the question for various reasons) to use some other (maybe built-in) account for this samba share?

Thanks,

Oh, great... just out of curiosity I tried "nobody" without password. Worked like a charm. Well, I'll leave that here for the next person having the same problem.
