Hai to all,

I have a samba server setup it works fine for the users with their username and passwords. by executing the following command.

smbclient //fedora.com/one -U bigbob

it prompts password . If i give password i got

smb\>

my question is that how can i login if the users dosent have their passwords(public share) ?.. I mean smbclient command !!

Thanks in advance to all

For shares to be totally public (no password), your smb.conf file in /etc/samba/ must be changed to allow it. For instance, if you have a specific folder that you want to share, the smb.conf entry might look like this:

[yourfolder]

comment = Share
path = /home/yourfolder
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
guest account = nobody
browsable = yes

Not sure if this is what you were asking, but hope it helps.
