Gang, This is my first post here so if I screw up please let me know. I run samba 2.2.8a on Solaris at home (UltraUX). I have several XP pro and win98 clients on this same network (192.168.1.x). I'm on a TCP/IP network and access my shares using the IP, not the UNC names. I use the same workgroup name on all of my hosts and use 'share' level security on the samba server and it is working great!
However, I now have a laptop (Windows XP pro) which I primarily use at work which is part of a domain (different then my workgroup at home). I'd like to start using the laptop to access my samba share when at home (without changing the laptops workgroup/domain settings) and it's giving me some trouble. I feel that my primary problem is when I try to access the share it is populating the username field 'Guest' and asking me for a password when I want this share to be completely open regardless of workgroup or domain name. Basically I don't want to require a username or password AT ALL, even when accessing the share from systems on a different workgroup/domain (same subnet). This may or may not be possible, but I'd sure like to know if I can make this share work, without changing my laptops workgroup/domain name. If I must succumb to forcing a login from the laptop I can, but I'd like to know how, since the share is already populating the login name field I don't even know how to override that, at this time. Here is my smb.conf; --------------- # This is /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf [global] netbios name = UltraUX workgroup = Galvinonline log level = 2 log file = /var/adm/log/sambalog security = share wins support = yes hosts allow = 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 127.0.0.1 EXCEPT 192.168.1.1 hosts deny = ALL [share] path = /share/ browseable = yes guest ok = yes public = yes read only = no ---------------- I was under the impression that the settings; 'security = share', 'public = yes', and 'guest ok = yes' in my smb.conf would be all that's required for this type of access to work but if anybody has any suggestions or can provide help I'd be greatly appreciative. If you have a document containing specific information regarding this topic I'd love to read it.
