(Get the code!)
Chris,
In fact, none of these patches affects authentication to the share itself; so far here we're only dealing with the authentication used when browsing share lists on servers. So I don't think this should be a problem for you?
In any case, the patch that's being considered in the end detects the case of an empty share list when connecting anonymously and prompts for authentication; so that seems to solve the case where anonymous users can't query the share list, without imposing any UI problems for those who do want to continue to connect anonymously.
