I can put it in the lab on Tuesday and probably have you an answer by that afternoon.  I just need a little time.

Subject: [ActiveDir] OT: Samba guest access?

(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 <file://\\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!
Kirk
