Thanks Ricky. I've enabled the file system requirements in fstab and checked the kernel supports them (not sure how I managed to skip that step during installation). Now the permissions changes do stick. However, as per Andrew's email (part of this thread) - the server still prompts for credentials on the workgroup machine when trying to access the public/full permissions share, although I allowed full access to Guests and Everyone. It seems there is no way to provide unauthenticated access to shares at this moment in Samba 4.

It would have been rather useful with migrating workgroups to domains gradually, instead of in one step - but one must be happy with one's blessings :-) - so I'll make do the way things are.

Cheers,

Sebastian

Have you taken a look at

ensure your file system will handle ACL's?

    Hi Ricky,

    Thanks for the reply. I have tried changing the permissions on the
    netlogon share and the strange thing is that none of the changes I
    do in the Security/ACL tab from the Windows XP machine which is
    joined to the domain (but on the netlogon share which is on the
    server) actually stick. I can access the shares fine with that
    machine, but if I change the permissions, it seems to just ignore
    the changes - no error message. I am logged in as the domain
    Administrator - so it seems like a bit of a mystery. Then again -
    maybe I've done something silly when I've setup this Samba AD DC -
    although I've followed all the instructions on the Samba wiki and
    everything else seems to be working fine.

        Hi Sebastian,
        Many of the per share options can now be done using ACL's. In
        this case
        you would open the netlogon share (via windows) start -> run ->
        \\MY-SERVER\netlogon (then press enter), then right click on a blank
        spot in that folder (not on any other file or folder) and select
        properties. Find the security tab and you can make the
        modifications you
        want (specifically adding Everyone with full permissions should
        give you
        what you are looking for, though I have not been able to test
        this yet).
        If I get a chance soon I will do some testing to make sure that
        the acl
        change is all that is needed.

        To find out what options are available, samba-tool testparm -v
        will give
        you a nice list (at least for global).

             I would like to migrate some of my Samba 3.x domains to
        Samba 4.
             Part of the functionality of the current system is allowing
        some
             Windows XP Pro computers, which are not joined to the
        domain, access
             to some public shares on the Samba server. I tried using
        "map to
             guest = bad user" with Samba 4 - but it appears to be
        completely
             ignored and the Windows XP machine keeps on prompting for
             username/password when trying to access the server share.
        Has this
             option been dropped in Samba 4? Is there another way to
        accomplish
             the same?

             Otherwise my Samba 4 domain seems to be working fine - and the
             Windows XP Pro machines which are joined to it can access
        the share
             fine.

             As a side note, I find it hard to figure out which smb.conf
        options
             are still available for Samba 4 and which are not. I've googled
             around and can't seem to find a wiki page or authoritative
        page.

             I use Samba 4.1.0pre1

             Here is my smb.conf


             [global]
             workgroup = MYDOMAIN
             realm = mydomain.local
             netbios name = MY-SERVER
             server role = active directory domain controller
             idmap_ldb:use rfc2307 = yes
             map to guest = bad user

             [netlogon]
             path = /var/lib/samba/sysvol/____mydomain.local/scripts

             read only = No
             public = Yes
