That's not what I am asking. I don't want ANY password for Samba. I
can edit the samba.conf file to do this manually. Why doesn't YaST
allow passwordless access to Samba shares? When I edit it manually, I
can just do a "computers near me" under windows, and it sees the
shares. I work on a lot of computers for customers, and it's easier
for me to have an unprotected network share on my internal
network(that's firewalled at the internet connection). I know I don't
have to add users/passwords if I edit it manually. Why doesn't YaST
support that? Especially since my smb shares are read only anyway?

Its because Samba users and passwords are kept SEPARATELY. You need to add
samba users with smbpasswd -a unix_user_name command.
