I have searched the Docs, How-to's, and this news group/ Mailing list and still haven't found what I am looking for, at least not an answer.
I am simply trying to allow access to public shares on my Linux PC (slackware 10). I have a directory setup but the only way to get in is to send a Username and Password. I am setting it up for WinXP and Win2K PC's to access. I have set up the nobody account, even gave it a password of nothing and enabled it. Still WinXP requests a userID and password. I do have a mildly, but not outrageous, custom setting. I have 2 nics and only want one of them to be accessed by windows request. I am not sure what account the WinXP tries to connect with by default. I can make a share on Windows and tell it to allow read access by anyone, so no one has to enter an ID or password. Is this possible in Samba and I passed some critical information to make this work? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ; /etc/smb.conf ; ; Make sure and restart the server after making changes to this file, ex: ; /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb stop ; /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start [global] ; Uncomment this if you want a guest account workgroup = Trigun server string = Niles Server guest account = nobody log file = /var/log/samba/samba-log.%m lock directory = /var/lock/samba share modes = yes interfaces = X.X.X.225/29 ; 1 of 5 Statics, Subnet 255.255.255.248 encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd ; valid users = %s [Upload] comment = Upload Area path = /var/ftp/pub/uploaded read only = no public = yes writable = yes printable = no ;[homes] ; comment = Home Directories ; browseable = no ; read only = no ; create mode = 0750 [Pub] comment = Public Folder path = /var/ftp/pub public = yes writable = no printable = no write list = midnight ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Any help would be appriciate, and sorry if seems I'm upset, frustrated is more like it. Every post I've seen has a couple of suggestions and then no "yes it worked, no it didn't". And there are only 3 or so I could find in the archive. --Zane P.S. On a side not, I would love to have the Homes sections un commented but if I use an ID with no password for the time being, it gives the home directory of the ID. I hope if there is a solution to the no password dialog box, that it will allow homes to be opened. If not, any suggestions? All suggestions are welcome, as well as any improvements to this config are welcome. I know so little, I'm amazed I got samba to work, last time and 1 week later I had nothing working. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
