Unable to see shares on samba server - no authentication access desired (open access)
 

HELP!!!

I've been running a Samba server under RedHat 8 for five years without a hiccup. I want to cut over to a F10 box but cannot get shares accessible.
smbclient attempts fail over NT password error. SELinux is disabled. Server is visible on the network. Users require no password access to shared data.

smb.conf follows:

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from UNKNOWN (>)
# Date: 2009/06/12 14:15:15

Have you tried requiring a password? I've always thought that it doesn't work with blank passwords or has it been running like this in the past?
