[Samba] enabling guest access to some samba shares and printers on FC3
hey friends, I have configured samba for my domain.Now I want to allow guest acess to some samba shares and printers. There are few laptops with Windows XP Home Edition running on them and I want to allow them to print to the printers attached to the FC3 machine.I am using security as domain in that case the user authentication is done by the Windows 2003 server and also guest account is enabled on the Windows 2003 server. My smb.conf is below workgroup = sun netbios name = server2 guest account = nobody security = domain password server = server.sun.com [utilities2] path=/utilities2 public = yes writeable = yes guest ok = yes [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no guest ok = yes writable = no printable = yes public = yes printer admin = root printing = cups use client driver = yes [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writeable = yes hide dot files = yes veto files = /*MAILDIR*/ Everytime I try to access the utilities2 shares or printers the Samba asks for the username and password. I want to configure samba in such a way that anybody within my domain can access to these shares and printers. What modifications I have to do to enable guest access to some of the shares. Thanks & Regards Ankush Grover
