Subject: [Samba] Trouble setting up an Anonymous read/write samba
server for WinXP Pro users
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Greetings,
I'm having difficulty setting up an 'Anonymous Read-Write' SAMBA server on a
new system with a stock FC2 installation for use with WinXP Pro systems.
Following the instructions and examples in the official SAMBA howto, I'm
under the impression that I want a smb.conf file such as:
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = MSHOME
netbios name = FILESERVER
security = SHARE
[data]
comment = Data
path = /export
force user = nobody
force group = nobody
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
The problem I'm running into is that when I attempt to connect to the share
from a WinXP Pro system by simply using the address \\fileserver in an
explorer window, I immediately get a 'Connect to fileserver' window from
WinXP with a greyed out username set to 'fileserver\Guest' and asking for a
password. I'm confused - the whole point of setting up an anonymous
read/write server was to avoid having to put user accounts on the samba
server.
