the content of smb.conf is as following;:

[global]
workgroup = wangxuan
netbios name = wangxuanServer
server string = test samba server

unix charset = utf8
display charset = utf8
dos charset = cp936

log file = /home/wangxuan/test/samba.log
max log size = 100
load printers = no

security = user
passdb backend = tdbsam

#map to guest = bad user

[homes]
# browseable = no
create mode = 0664
guest ok = yes
writable = yes
comment = Home Dir
directory mode = 0775

[temp]
comment = temp sharefolder
path = /tmp
writable = yes
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes

I use this command :
mount -t cifs -o guest //localhost/nobody /mnt

and an error says
Retrying with upper case share name
mount error(6): No such device or address
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

/home/nobody exists

thanks

[homes] is a special share which automatically creates home shares for each user with a standard user account on the server. Normally "nobody" owns no files and is in no privileged groups and does not have a home directory under /home.

Did you create a regular user called nobody? What are you trying to accomplish?

yes, nobody is a special account, but what if I changed it to a normal user?
I am just learning the samba suite and wanna know how the [homes] section works.

I would add another regular user or mount your existing regular user instead.

are you trying to:
mount -t cifs -o username=windozeRemoteUser,uid=somelosersDesktop,gid=smellybums, //myserver/myshare /mnt/somewhere
