Re: [ActiveDir] OT: Samba guest access?

[Rob Freeman]

The only other idea I can think of is to create a user account on the samba box with the exact same name / password as the user on the windows box.  Then use smbpasswd -a to grant them access to smb.    Sure there is a better way, but I can not think of one at the moment. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kirk Marple To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 11, 2004 11:50 AM Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Samba guest access? yep, it has "guest ok = 1".   this was put in by the Workgroup Manager, not by hand.   mine looks like this... i added relevant pieces of the [global] section, just in case the problem would be there instead.   [global]     security = ADS     guest account = unknown     auth methods = guest opendirectory     use spnego = yes     map to guest = Bad User     allow trusted domains = no     preferred master = no     client ntlmv2 auth = no     domain logons = no     domain master = yes   and for the file share:   [AppStorage]     oplocks = 0     map archive = no     path = /Volumes/[...]     read >     inherit permissions = 1     strict locking = 1     create mask = 0644     guest ok = 1     directory mask = 0755   thanks for the help!

(Sorry for the OT post, i just don't know anywhere else to find people that might know the answer to this.  Thanks!)   I've attached an Apple XServe to our Windows domain, and have successfully setup all the Active Directory integration.   I've been able to expose a file share to Windows via Samba from the XServe, but it's still requring a guest account login.   For example, when i try and open \\xserve\Storage from Windows, it shows a username/pwd dialog.  If i type in 'guest', it lets me in.   Problem is, i want to use a file share from a .NET app, and can't do authentication on the UNC path.  I know the account info gets cached, but this all has to happen automagically w/o user input.   Anybody know if there's a way to not require that authentication popup, and just default to 'guest' access?  Is it a Samba issue or a Windows issue?   Thanks for any help/pointers!
