this directory shouldn't be writable, so I have it now like that:
[wpkg] comment = Windows Packager path = /home/samba/wpkg read only = yes browseable = yes valid users = nobody, unattended, guest guest ok = Yes public = Yes
but as the server is a domain controller, it prompts for a username/password even if I just click on its icon (from win2k workstation).
Most likely it's prompting you for a user/pass because you're not coming in as a valid user for the server.
Indeed it's the case.
But I want every user to be able to browse this share - but this is not possible as it seems that to access this share I have to access server first (as a valid user).
As I'm logged onto that workstation as an Administrator (Administrator of that PC, not logged into a domain), I get something like that into the logs - when I double click on a Server icon in a Network Neighbourhood:
check_ntlm_password: Checking password for unmapped user [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the new password interface
[2004/11/17 21:05:57, 3] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(222)
(...)
check_ntlm_password: Authentication for user [Administrator] -> [root] FAILED with error NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD
If I try to access it from Explorer like \\server\myshare - Windows complains that there is no such object (?), with Samba logs similar to above.
What do you mean by "force user"?
Force user means, in a nutshell: Make it look like I'm this guy, where thisguy is the user named in the force user line. You still need to be a valid authenticated user before going to said share. From the man page:
So this is rather useful for me, right (as I have to still supply password).
Any more hints?
