After reinstalling linux server (replaced Fedora c1 with c2) I can't access samba server from XP home. I used same smb.conf file as before and it works fine for another computer with Win98.
I keep getting request for guest password I can't get rid off.
My smb.conf:
[global]
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
dns proxy = no
printer = hp2100m
load printers = yes
guest account = benjamin
server string = serverbe
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
password server = None
workgroup = mshome
guest ok = yes
printcap name = /etc/printcap
security = SHARE
max log size = 50
hosts deny = ALL
hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writeable = yes
# Un-comment the following and create the netlogon directory for Domain Logons
; [netlogon]
; comment = Network Logon Service
; path = /home/netlogon
; guest ok = yes
; writable = no
; share modes = no
# Un-comment the following to provide a specific roving profile share
# the default is to use the user's home directory
;[Profiles]
; path = /home/profiles
; browseable = no
; guest ok = yes
# NOTE: If you have a BSD-style print system there is no need to
# specifically define each individual printer
[printers]
comment = All Printers
browseable = no
printable = yes
path = /var/spool/samba
[root]
comment = cel disk
valid users = benjamin
writeable = yes
create mode = 0765
path = /
allow hosts = 192.168.0.10 127.
on mine, security = share (don't know if it's case sensitive, but most *nix stuff is), also, does user benjamin on your linux box require a password, if so, then you might want to set up a guest account, then passwd -f guest to allow it to not have a password, and map shares accordingly
