Can't see public shared folders (Windows + Samba +LDAP)

Hi all,

I have installed them on Ubuntu. I created some groups and users with LAM and I can join from the domain from Windows XP and Windows 7.

But I spent 2 days trying to share a public folder with Windows computers NOT JOINED to the domain... is that's possible ?

/etc/samba/smb.conf:

Code:

[global]
    workgroup = CURSO
    netbios name = SERVIDOR
    
    security = user
    ....
[shared]
    path = /home/javier/compartir
    read only = no
    public = yes	 			
    guest ok = yes

...

Then...

Code:

    $ sudo adduser userx
    $ sudo smbpasswd -a userx
    $ sudo service smbd restart

Under My Network on Windows I can't see the shared folder, only the domain, and if I click on it I'm prompted for user credentials: I can't login with 'userx', only domain users are valid.

Some help, please ?

To make it easier for you, try and use the free product from centriy it will help you setup authentication with active directory quickly.

I have tried it and it works as advertised.

Thanks amlife, but I need to know how to do it at 'low level' for learning purpose.
