To get a list on WinXP I don't have to log in (or is this something windows does in background?) - why do I have to log in on Ubuntu?

To get a list with smbpasswd I don't have to enter a valid login, just pressing enter on password question is enough:
smbpasswd -U fbn -L \\paul

And there is no information anywhere that I have to use smbpasswd on my local machine to enable browsing windows shares - is there any?

Maybe I'm too blind but I thought this would be like the Gnome philosophy - just as easy and straighforward as possible ...

Where can I place an improve request on this topic? :-)
