Samba - Guest and private in same config?
 

I'm trying to help someone set up a set of shares via Samba.

What I'm looking for is a user-based private share (/home/~) for personal data, and also a guest account which is freely accessible read/write (/home/samba).

I can get one or the other working but not both at the same time. Can anyone help please?

I don't have a box to test it on in front of me, but I would imagine that a combination of
secuity = user
guest account = nobody
in the [global] section and
guest ok = yes
in the share's section would get this working

Thanks. Sorry, I should have posted back last night, I think I got what's required by setting up a share with open r/w permissions. A valid login is needed but I don't think that's a problem :)
