This is my first try at setting up a "guest ok" share. I have created an user named "guest" in Linux (since I don't want to use the default "nobody") that has group "users". Now, it seems that the "map to guest" directive is completely ignored.
I have created the same user in samba (don't know if I need it) I have set up Samba 3.0.14a as follows (lots of stuff removed): [general] guest account = guest map to guest = bad user passdb backend = tdbsam guest [guest_share] guest ok = yes read list = guest read only = no Now, when I connect to Samba with a nonexistent username, I see in the logs that the nonexistent username gets mapped to the user "nobody", when it should get mapped to user "guest" as I stated in the general section. Where am I doing wrong? I don't want to use "nobody" because my "guest" user belongs to "users" group, not to "nogroup". I have tried testparm -v and it seems that there are no errors and that the "map to guest" directive gets read correctly. -- Fabio "Kurgan" Muzzi -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
