LinuxQuestions.org - Samba password

- - Samba password (https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/samba-password-152314/)

I have tried to set Samba and I've got client work, but I have problems with server. It always keeps asking password and username when trying to download files from windoze machine and even guest account doesnt work. What have I might be done wrong?

Can u paste your smb.conf? One of solutions is to use the same username/password in linux and windows. It doesnt ask for a pw then, just logs u in.

You can add

Code:

[global]

guest ok = yes

guest only = yes

guest account = smbguest

and remove
map to guest = bad user

Then you should be able to connect to linux server without asking for pw (except print$ share, there u should specify
guest only = no
public = no
to give ppl with write access a chance to login)

Another option for users is as i mention above to use the same logins/passwords on windows/linux

Now when I try to browse smb:/ it just keeps asking password and Windoze machines now dont even see my computer...

Paste your new smb.conf
If u added lines i mentioned, are u sure you have user/group smbguest on your computer?

Edit: Also run 'testparm' everytime u change smb.conf to check that there are no errors.

Now I've done following things:
* edited smb.conf as muah told.
* added user & group smbguest
* runned testparm succesfully

Now I can see directories that I've shared but when I try to enter some of them it still asks password.

My configs:
smbusers: http://www.sourcecode.no/pastebin/en...key=1h7grxirz6
smbpasswd: http://www.sourcecode.no/pastebin/en...key=8v30ml3ikx
smb.conf: http://www.sourcecode.no/pastebin/en...&key=jz3lcot0w

Well I dont know why it still asks for a password here is my smb.conf

Code:

[global]

  workgroup = workgroup

  server string = Samba Server

  netbios name = Majestic

  security = share

  log level = 1

  log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log

  max log size = 50

  dns proxy = no

  deadtime = 15

  

  guest ok = yes

  guest account = smbguest

  guest only = yes

  

  

  invalid users = root

  

[public]

  path = /home/public

  create mode = 0777

  directory mode = 0777

  writable = yes

  browsable = yes

  public = yes

  

[moviez]

  path = /d/movies

  writable = no

  browsable = yes

  public = yes

I can access \\Majestic and all its shares without password from windows
