samba - Dec 1998 - two questions: mailing list & public shares

Morning...

	First off, is there a non-digest version of this list available?

	Second, and more important, from reading the docs, the following
'share' should not prompt me for a password...no?

# This one is useful for people to share files
[tmp]
   comment = Temporary file space
   path = /tmp
   read only = no
   public = yes

	If this is correct, then there is a problem here, since I can't
mount the share without one :(

	What I'm trying to do is create a simple share that contains the
two .reg files in it, so that ppl can mount that first, fix the 'passwd
issue' and then proceed to mount their regular shares...but until the
'passwd issue' is fixed, they can't seem to mount anything :(

	Help?  Running 2.0b1 still, so this might have been a bug, maybe,
in b1 and fixed in b2?

Thanks...

YES - there is.
Write an email to  "listproc@samba.anu.edu.au" with the message
"set
samba mail ack" and you will get the non-digest version

So far so good. Same as on my system ...

What about your global section? Have you set any "guest account" /
"share modes" / "security" / ... ??? I?m pretty sure, that
your problem
is related to your global section. I make a bet that you cannot mount
any other share without a password ...
