Hi,
I have a Samba server that I have just transitioned from Samba v2 to v3
and at the same time I have changed from share mode security to user
mode security.
I having problems allowing guest access to some of my shares on the
server. I have some shares (such as apps and cdrom etc) that I would
like to allow anyone to access - even if they do not have an login
account on the Samba server. This worked fine in share mode security but
does not seem to work in user mode security.
If a user (who does not have a login account on the Samba server) tries
to map a guest share, the user gets presented with a login dialog asking
for a password for the Guest account - how can I just allow access
without the user being asked for a password?
Here is my smb.conf including a guest only share for the cdrom.
Any help gratefully received
Regards
Gary

I'm getting that same problem since upgrading my Debian server from Sarge to Etch. I've got the "map to guest = bad user" thing in my config, but it's like it doesn't work now. In the end, since 99.9% of the access I needed was as guest anyway, I switched those shares over to share security. Of course that breaks having the ability to have separate RO/RW access for different people. Unfortunately no one on the list could help with the actual problem, and I haven't had much time to really try and fix it. I hope you can get a solution, because I really want to know too :-) TB Mansell, Gary wrote:> Hi, > > I have a Samba server that I have just transitioned from Samba v2 to v3 > and at the same time I have changed from share mode security to user > mode security. > > I having problems allowing guest access to some of my shares on the > server.

Hi, I have finally had time to put up the test server and perform the actions that you asked for with logging set to 10. I would expect that a Windows machine should be able to access a public share on the Samba server without the clear text password hack being applied (it always worked fine with Samba 2.x and share mode security) so the tar file No-Encrypted_PWD.tar has the logs for this instance.>From the client machine I tried to map the share \\172.30.50.247\nt(which is public) and the error that I got back on the laptop was the one that you would get to indicate that you need to apply the encrypted password hack to the machine. This should not happen, the machine should be able to map the drive without the encrypted password hack or supplying a username/password. For completeness, I then installed the encrypted password hack on the Windows client and performed the same connection with a fresh set of logfiles. This time it came straight back with a password dialog box (wrong behaviour) so I entered in guest as the username with no password and it came back with the password dialog box again It seems that others on the Internet have mentioned that guest access does not work for user mode authentications so it seems not to be just me although it surprises me that such a fundamental feature seems to be flawed??? Any advice that you can offer would be gladly received.
