I don't pretend to understand how the SMB code in Windows works. It
seems to be different on different machines. On my machine `net use'
doesn't even bother to print any of the active shares when in a
passwordless session:
$ net use
New connections will not be remembered.
There are no entries in the list.
But I can access shares from within a passwordless session if I create
the sharing inside of the session using `net use'. Well, sometimes. And
it's a bit tricky, since it only works when not using drive letters (so
I have to use the //server/share path for accessing the share) and only
if I specify the full user name including domain or password server
respectively:
$ net use \\\\server\\share password /user:SERVER_OR_DOMAIN\\corinna
