public samba share not working for windows clients
Hi,
have trouble setting up a public share in samba. Got security set to user. Have several system users who use samba. They are devided into groups and shares have different write lists etc. So security = share is not acceptable. I now got a request to add a public share for guests, that would be random folks on the internal network. [public] comment = bla path = /var/bla read only = yes guest ok = yes write list = @staff browseable = yes in [global] I added guest account = yes. I didn't create any "guest" user in /etc/passwd nor /etc/samba/smbpasswd, as I understand I don't need to either. I tested it with smbclient from a remote linux box first and it worked just perfect, but the password had to be blank/missing. If I specified one, I got access denied. When I try to connect from a WinXP machine, I can't get in. It throws a new login window at me when I specify the user 'guest' and no password. The same with a random password. My theory is, that windows sends some junk password/hash anyway with user "guest", although I didn't type anything in. If that's the problem, how do I tell samba to ignore the password all together. Otherwise, what else could possibly cause this? 'guest only = yes' is not an acceptable option and it didn't work anyway. Thanks. |
