That's true. It's highly recommended to avoid anonymous sessions in
servers. Microsoft operating systems until 2000 server allows, by
default,
anonymous sessions. See the following KB article from MS to know how to
restrict anonymous access:

2000

Depending on how your OS has been setup, it may allow access to the
file
via anonymous logon (NULL session). It may be better to set it for a
particular users, or config your local security sessions to prevent
NULL
sessions.

hope that helps.
