Hello, it seems that 'guest account' can't be defined in a service anymore. As far as i can tell the manual states it should work though. Am i doing something wrong here? (i upgraded from samba 2 to 3). I would like to be able to get access to certain shares using a particular user, so all rights are o.k. (and i need 2 different users for different services, so 1 global definition isn't really _the_ solution) I'm running: smbd: Version 3.0.2a-Debian Thnx in advance, grtz, Pascal. ------------- SMB.CONF ------------- [global] netbios name = COMPUTER workgroup = WORKGROUP server string = HI name resolve order = lmhosts bcast hosts allow = x.y.z. security = user map to guest = bad password map to guest = bad user password level = 0 encrypt passwords = yes invalid users = root admin max connections = 20 debug level = 1 syslog = 0 max log size = 50 interfaces = eth1 eth0 eth2 lm announce = no lm interval = 0 local master = no os level = 0 preferred master = no domain master = no wins server = w.x.y.z wins support = no wins proxy = no dns proxy = no socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=32768 SO_RCVBUF=32768 deadtime = 5 oplocks = yes getwd cache = yes read raw = yes write raw = yes preserve case = yes short preserve case = yes load printers = no include = /etc/samba/smb.limieten.inc.conf [private] comment = prive path = /shares public = yes guest ok = yes guest only = yes guest account = USER writable = True hosts allow = x.y. browsable = no [www] comment = prive path = /var/www public = yes guest ok = yes guest only = yes guest account = WWW_USER writable = True hosts allow = x.y. browsable = no -------------------- included file -------------------- [pub] comment = Welkom %m path = /shares/pub_samba/alles_open public = yes guest ok = True guest account = nobody guest only = yes writable = False level2 oplocks = yes ------------------- OUTPUT of testparm ------------------- Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Processing section "[pub]" Global parameter guest account found in service section!
