Morning,

I'm having problems setting up samba to make a share that id like to have running for my network. The home Dir share is working fine based on the login info i give it but i cant get this other one to work.

The debian box itself has a large drive in it which id like to use as a filestore for the other machines on the network, win2k desktop and winxp laptop. Id like to make a dir /share (yes, in root) which has anonymous access to everyone, read and write. After looking round many tutorial sites i cant find an example that matches this one so I'm a bit stuck.

If you need this info:
debian account is "imaboyo"
winxp account is "matthew" ( tho i want it accessible to any username )

What i need is the share info to put into smb.conf, who to make the owner of /share and any chmod details for that dir.

Thanks for the help,

I'm just guessing so be aware this is untested
"only guest" might be "guest only"

[share]
path = /share
public = yes
only guest = yes
writable = yes


then in global
make sure there is no:
security = user
and put a line:
guest account = nobody

i'm guessing you already have an account on your machine "nobody"
so just
chown nobody /share

seems like that aught to do it but write back if not
