I dont think all these steps needed to share just a folder anonymously to all users. Finally I could able to solve it with following setting in smb.conf [global] security = share restrict anonymous = no domain master = no preferred master = no workgroup = workgroup server string = Samba Sever ; netbios name = maxwell max protocol = NT acl compatibility = winnt ldap ssl = No server signing = Auto ; encrypt passwords = yes ; guest ok = no ; guest account = nobody
[shares] case sensitive = no strict locking = no guest ok = yes ;msdfs proxy = no writeable = yes path = /opt/home/share ; browseable = yes ; browseable = yes As this server is inside intranet so I dont think I need LDAP integration. ----- Original Message ---- From: Daniel Müller <[email protected]> To: Cool The Breezer <[email protected]>; Norberto Bensa <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Sent: Tue, August 17, 2010 12:42:11 PM Subject: AW: [Samba] Problem integrating Samba with External LDAP What do you want to do? Set up a memberserver, be a BDC or what? First of all has you LDAP the samba3 scheme loaded? If it is so you must install ldap-client on your system. getent passwd and getent group must list you the users and groups from your ldap. Then at least you have to join your samba3 to the remote samba domain as member. Point in your smb.conf, there [globals], password server = yourremotesamba That's it Daniel ----------------------------------------------- EDV Daniel Müller Leitung EDV Tropenklinik Paul-Lechler-Krankenhaus Paul-Lechler-Str. 24 72076 Tübingen Tel.: 07071/206-463, Fax: 07071/206-499 eMail: [email protected] Internet: www.tropenklinik.de ----------------------------------------------- -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von Cool The Breezer Gesendet: Dienstag, 17.

At least I need anonymous share i.e. a read-only share would be fine. ----- Original Message ---- From: Norberto Bensa <[email protected]> To: Cool The Breezer <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Sent: Fri, August 13, 2010 11:52:43 PM Subject: Re: [Samba] Problem integrating Samba with External LDAP 2010/8/13 Cool The Breezer <[email protected]>: > On restarting smb service, I am getting following error > Failed to retrieve password from secrets.tdb did you run: # smbpasswd -W ? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
