Log On Without Authentication

Hi,
Now I know I've asked this before, but it didn't seem to work. I would like site visitors to access the database, logging on only with guest priviledges, but without pushing them through a log on screen. I've already tried the UID=default way and that didn't work. Somehow, maybe I have to turn off the authentication, right? I don't want to comprimise security though. Please help.

Pretty obvious isn't it?

Code:

# Authorization Options
# --------------------------------------------------------
# No Authentication? (1 = "there is no authentication", 0 = "there is authentication")
# If you choose no authentication, then set the permissions of what
# people can do with: @auth_default_permissions below.
$auth_no_authentication = 0;

You will also need to make sure that the rest of the authorization options are set to your liking..

Is that what you mean?
You can find it in default.cfg.

You may have $db_allow_default set incorrectly.
