Re: [Samba] Guest shares in an ADS security model

2010-10-23 Thread Madhusudan Singh
So, is it correct to say that if we use ADS security, there is no
possibility of having any unauthenticated shares at all ?

 Thanks for clearing that up. I would not want the AD to get involved at all

 Well, I believe that it is.  But that you need to enable the Guest
 account in AD for it to be allowed.


 AFAIK, the Guest account is disabled by default in AD (at least, the
 later versions, 2003 onwards, possibly earlier).

I might be wrong, of course, but I think that's how it works.

What you want to do is bypass AD for one print share.  Maybe that's
possible, but I don't know.

Yes. I guess this is a question about whether share-wise security models can
be specified.

 I would guess you need to enable to Guest user in Active Directory and
 then set up the share such that the Guest user has access.
