Hello all,
I set up a samba server(3.4.13) that guest has access to it. When I
run command “net status shares parseable” on the server, it shows results
like this:
test\17358\\\pc-vincent\\Thu Aug 25 15:00:49 2011
And there’s no ip address for the client. I googled the reason and hacked
the samba source code, I found this comments in function session_claim() of
file source3/smbd/session.c:
/* don't register sessions for the guest user - its just too
expensive to go through pam session code for browsing etc */
if (vuser->server_info->guest) {
return True;
}
I comment out the above code, which is to say, register sessions for the
guest user, and then reinstall samba, there’s ip address in the result of
“net status shares parseable”:
test\7962\guest\guests\pc-vincent\192.168.8.126\Thu Aug 25 15:34:37 2011
and everything on the samba server seems right.
I want to know what’s the impact if I made changes like this?
Forgive my poor English. Thanks very much.
Vincent
