Hi All

Still new to Linux and especaily samba. I have setup samba for 2 shares,will list below shares. 1 which requires a login and 1 temp folder which I would like guest access to.

Currently I have security = user which works great for the data folder which requires a login. If I try to access temp I get asked for a user name and password as well.

I tried to set security = share which then allowed access to temp with out a login but also allowed access to the data folder. From the data folder I emoved public = yes. I then get askd for a user name and passwrod like I should but the system will not accept it.

This is a Centos 5.5 server with a mail server on it. Any help you be great

[data]
comment = Data Folder
path = /home/data/
public = yes
writable = yes
browseable = yes
printable = no
avaliable = yes
write list = glenn,
force create mode = 0660
force directory mode = 0770

[temp]
comment = temp folder
path = /home/temp/
public = yes
writeable = yes
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
guest only = yes
guest account = nobody
available = yes
force user = nobody
force group = nobody


Thanks Glenn

I don't know the answer and I'm going to watch this thread because I would like to see it also.

I can recommend Samba by Example as the easiest to use (that's a relative term) reference I've found for Samba.
