I've searched the mailing list archives but cannot find anything relevant; I
apologize in advance for the basic nature of this question.
I'm trying to set up Samba on AIX 4.3 such that users can write to a certain
share with the guest account. However, I'm unable to successfully write to
it with the guest user account.
Here's my smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
netbios name = SERVER
server string = AIX Server, Samba 2.2.1.1
map to guest = Bad Password
null passwords = Yes
local master = No
domain master = False
wins support = Yes
guest account = guest
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
hosts allow = all
encrypt passwords = Yes
[audit]
path = /test/audit
writeable = yes
[programs]
path = /test/programs
writeable = no
[works]
path = /test/works
writeable = no
The /test/audit directory's permissions are rwxr-srwx.
Now, when I try to use smbclient to connect to the share as guest and, say,
create a directory, I get the following:
smb: \> md TEST
ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.) making remote directory \TEST
I get basically the same thing when I try to do this from a Windows
drivemapping as user guest:
"Unable to create the file 'New Text Document.' Access is
denied."
smbd and nmbd are being started from the /etc/inittab, and after each tweak
of the smb.conf, I kill the processes and restart them interactively. Here
are their entries in inittab:
samba:2:wait:/usr/local/sbin/smbd -D -d1 -l /var/samba/smbd.log -s
/usr/local/lib/smb.conf
nmb:2:wait:/usr/local/sbin/nmbd -D -d1 -l /var/samba/nmbd.log -s
/usr/local/lib/smb.conf
To start them from the command line, I just issue the above lines after
lopping off everything up to and including the third colons.
