guest access to a share in smb.conf ??
Ok, I am using LinNeighborhood and other pc's (win98, XP) can see my computer (Slackware9).
I would like to share a directory so that anyone can access it, ie there is to be NO login for them, just click it and it opens up. I do not want them to be able to write anything to this directory, just be able to see what I have in there, copy stuff from there and just have a look around basically. I cannot get it setup this way! it always asks for a login and then gives me an error. here is what I have for my share: [public] comment = public directory path = /home/stevo/shared readonly = yes guest ok = yes browseable = yes public = yes guest account = nobody I then went and created the directory /home/stevo/shared and put stuff in it. Is this correct? What do I have to change/add? (This seems like an ongoing problem on this forum, so I'd like to make this the thread with all the answers...) Thanks. |
Try:
[public] comment = public directory path = /home/stevo/shared public = yes guest account = nobody Also make sure that the user "nobody" has read and execute access on the directory. |
