Samba user mode with out password
 
Hi I have configured samaba as my Primary Domain controller so security mode is user.
the problem is i want to share a specific directory to all with write permission with out entering any password so that even guest users can use this shared directory.
I can login to this directoy as an anonumous user using linux command

Quote:

smbclient //MYDOMAIN/public
But when I try to access this share from awindows machien it will ask for password.

my smb.conf is the following and server is centos 4 clients are WindowsXP service pack 2.

Try something like that.. that way anyone accessing that share will be using THAT username, regardless of password. HTH.
