[Samba] Guest access

Thu, 11 Sep 2003 07:07:38 -0700

I have been trying to get guest access to a share.

My smb.conf is as follows...

[global]
       workgroup = DEVSPACE
       encrypt passwords = yes

[test]
       comment = my first share
       path = /home/temp
       read only = no
       guest ok = yes
       browseable = yes
       public = yes
       guest account = nobody

Then on one windows station I execute net view pluto and it works because the user that does the net view has been added to the smb.conf file.

Then on another windows station I execute net view pluto and I get System error 5 has occured Access is denied because the user that is accessing the server is not known as a user on the network. The user nobody has been added to the smb.conf file. If I attempt to connect to the network share directly using net use x: \\pluto\test I get an error because it asks me for a user.

I looked at the documentation and have tweaked all the combinations of the setting guest ok to yes and no and to setting of public to yes and no. Nothing seems to let the unknown user onto the machine. Both Windows boxes are running W2K.

Thanks

Christian Gross
