Samba Team,
Setting up Samba version 2.2.3a on an AIX 5.1 system. I used an smb.conf
file from a previous system (Dynix/ptx) and got it working just fine after
changing from security = domain to security = user. Here is my smb.conf:
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 192.168.1.224 (192.168.1.224)
# Date: 2003/07/29 13:05:03
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = NORTHPACIFIC.COM
netbios name = HOODOO
server string = Hoodoo(%h) Samba %v
interfaces = 192.168.1.41/255.255.255.0
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
username map = /etc/smb_users.map
log file = /usr/local/log/smb.%m.log
max log size = 500
local master = No
domain master = False
dns proxy = No
remote announce = 192.168.1.255/SQNT
guest account = cyalpha
preload = ar_export
[ar_export]
comment = Agility:dconv ar_export
path = /ashland/dumpspace/auto/dconv/ar_export
guest ok = yes
force user = cyalpha
read only = No
create mask = 0666
force directory mode = 0777
map archive = No
The problem comes when I was trying to configure a specific service to allow
connection without authentication. I tried several configurations around
"guest only", "guest ok" and "map to guest"
suggested in the documentation
but nothing worked.
The share is called ar_export and we are trying to access it directly with
an "MS access 2.0" application using the UNC \\hoodoo\ar_export
<file:///\\hoodoo\ar_export> . I was able to get it to work if I changed
security = share and set guest ok = yes for that share but now I cannot
access any of my other shares.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
