samba - Apr 1998 - Public print share on Samba/VMS asks for a password

Hi all,

I'm sure this has been discussed here before but at the time, it didn't
apply to me ... until now.

I'm trying to configure a public print share on a VAX/VMS system that
doesn't require any password to connect to. Anything I've tried always
asks the users for a password to make the connection. I don't much care
about who connects to this system and its shares as all it really does is
serve up printers and plotters to our Win95 PCs. 

Here's my config for this share:

[datdj01]
    comment = LIMS HP 1600 CM Deskjet Printer
    path = /samba_root/var/spool
    browseable = no
    available = yes
    guest account = samba_user
    guest only = yes
    public = yes
    printer name = datdj01$print
    printable = yes
    writable = no
    create mode = 0700

Thanks for any suggestions/solutions.

Dave

Hello again,

I didn't receive any replies to my question yesterday, so here it is
again. I'm sure someone can help answer this easy question for me.

I'm trying to configure a public print share that doesn't require a
password to connect to on a MicroVAX/VMS system. This system will never
have login accounts for the individual users as all it really does is
serve up printers and plotters to our Win95 PCs and I don't much care
about who connects to this system and its shares.

Any variations to smb.conf I've tried always asks the users for a password
to make the connection.

Here's my config for one such share:

[datdj01]
    comment = LIMS HP 1600 CM Deskjet Printer
    path = /samba_root/var/spool
    browseable = no
    available = yes
    guest account = samba_user
    guest only = yes
    public = yes
    printer name = datdj01$print
    printable = yes
    writable = no
    create mode = 0700

Could someone help point me in the right direction? Thanks for any
suggestions/solutions. 

Dave Thompson
