Samba asking for passwd - Winxp Pro
Need your help to solve my problem. I have 3 clients and 1 server = linux.
My mission is to setup a media file server where we store all media files on linux server. All 3 clients to have read access only. Here is my smb.conf. ---------------------------- # Global parameters [global] workgroup = MDKGROUP server string = Samba Server %v encrypt passwords = Yes map to guest = Bad User log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 printcap name = cups dns proxy = No printer admin = @adm hosts allow = 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0 printing = cups [media] comment = music videos etc security = share path = /winshare/Media username = guest write list = admin read only = No guest only = Yes guest ok = Yes --------------------- Winxp can see the shares in Network Neighbourhood but each time I try to access it, it asks for user name and password. I have created a user=guest passwd=music for the smb and system still no sucess. What I need is to access the share without user and passwd and read only. |
Is your XP machine part of the same workgroup as the linux machine, if XP is in a different workgroup it will ask for a password. You could also moving the security = share from the share to the [Global] settings

Winxp machine have different workgroup name I will follow your instructions. Will get back.
