I _believe_ that it is caused by samba using the username/password and then failing (guest access is only when there is no usernmae/password..does that make sense?)..There is a setting which allows you to fallback to a username if the original username/password pair fails (in the docs this is said 'to cause confusion for sys-admins') I believe if you poke around with 'map to guest' and 'bad password' you should be able to come up with a solution. >>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. > >>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. > >Thanks, >~Nate > >-- >To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the >instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba ------------------------------------------- Chris McKeever If you want to reply directly to me, please use cgmckeever--at--prupref---dot---com http://www.prupref.com > ---- Prudential Preferred Properties www.prupref.com -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
