Samba configuration

jestinjoy · 02-10-2011, 08:05 PM

My smb.conf is given below

Code:

[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
netbios name = PIRATEBAY
wins support = yes
server string = %h server (Samba %v)
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
syslog = 0
security = share
guest account = nobody
map to guest = bad user


[Movies-1]
path = /media/Store/movies
comment = Movies
read only = Yes
guest ok = Yes
available = yes
browsable = yes
public = yes
writable = no

Though others could easily access my shares in a passwordless way, I am being aksed for password when I try to access their shares. They are running windows machines. I could easily access their shres without password from my windows setup.

Please help

Have you tried using only guest = yes with guest ok?

Code:

guest ok = yes
only guest = yes

This works for the windows boxes here, but I still get prompted for my username's password when I use a Linux client. I just hit Enter at the password prompt and it gives me anonymous access.
