Question Samba without a password?


Hi,

I've got samba successfuly running on my Redhat 8 box and I was wondering if there's a way that I can configure samba so I don't need to enter a username/password when I do \\mysambaserver\ on my windows box.

Thanks,
Matt

Hey Matt, I was having the same problem (running windows xp pro) trying to access the slackware box... Maybe we should try man samba?

I tried the man, but my konsole doesn't work right under VNC. I'm using VNC to access my 'nix server because i've only got two monitors in the house and my sister's using one of them on the families computer

Hey... I am also trying to figure out how this samba works... Here's my config for public share with read-only permission

NinjaBox:/etc/samba# more smb.conf
workgroup = hacktheplanet
netbios name = NinjaBox
encrypt passwords = yes
security = share

[Music]
path = /server/music
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes


Basically "security = share" is the key here
