RE: [Samba] smbclient thinks passwordless account is anonymous
set-up an account on the Linux machine, Then put null passwords = yes in the smb.conf file ( the global section) then do a smbpasswd -an username which will create a samba account with no password ( or a null password ). When the user logs on it will use his machine username should be seen in smbstatus hope that helps Ken -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 04 January 2003 1:33 AM To: Gerald (Jerry) Carter Cc: John Tyner; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Samba] smbclient thinks passwordless account is anonymous On Thu, Jan 02, 2003 at 01:20:13PM -0600, Gerald (Jerry) Carter wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 On Thu, 26 Dec 2002, John Tyner wrote: I want to use a passwordless account on my windows box to connect to from my linux box.

Re: [Samba] smbclient thinks passwordless account is anonymous
Hmmm... I don't know much about windows. The problem likely lies in the windows server, methinks. smbclient is taking the user personality provided by the windows server, no? I lost your first post. But, does your version of windows (98, for example), have much of a concept of user.

What's happening is, I'm using smbclient to connect from the linux machine to the windows machine. The account on the windows machine has no password. When I try to connect using that account, then it fails, and smbclient prints something about an anonymous login succeeding. However, if I give the account a password and try to connect, it works... no message about anonymous logon. On the surface, it _seems_ that smbclient maps an account with no password to an anonymous user. I suspect that that's probably not the case, but I'm hoping someone can tell me what the expected/intended behavior in this situation is and even how to correct it if it is indeed a problem.

Re: [Samba] smbclient thinks passwordless account is anonymous
I didn't find anything helpful there. I've checked the smbclient man page. The only time it mentions the guest account is under the -U option which says something to the effect that the guest account is used when the USER and LOGNAME environment variables are not present. I set these as well as trying some other suggestions found there (the PASSWD environment variable and the -A option), but without a password, smbclient treats the attempt as an anonymous login despite being given a different, valid username. Any other ideas? Thanks, John On Thu, Dec 26, 2002 at 05:45:17PM -0500, Joel Hammer wrote: Read about guest logins.

Re: [Samba] smbclient thinks passwordless account is anonymous
Try man smb.conf It explains how to set up the samba server to assign a user name to a logon with no password. eg. [global] guest account = ftp [cdrom1] comment = CDROM1 path = /mnt/cdrom1 guest ok = yes guest account can be any valid user, like root. This gets rid of all those pesky permissions problems.

I want to connect _from_ the linux box _to_ the windows box. I think the problem is in smbclient, not samba itself.
