Hello all, I use samba2.0.5a in security=user mode and I would like to create some public shares - accessible also for clients without valid username/password login (for example public printer). I have a valid guest account specified and I marked these shares as guest ok - but it still doesn't work. "Not logged in" users cannot see the list of shares nor can they access the share directly using UNC syntax (\\server\share) - in both cases dialog box asking for IPC$ password appears. In docs/textdocs/Recent-FAQs.txt I have found topic "Using NT to Browse Samba Shares" which says something about this - but in fact I don't understand it very well. It's written there that also Windows NT doesn't allow unauthorized user's access to the list of shares, but it doesn't seem to be true. So I would like to ask, if creation of such a shares is possible and what conditions must be fullfiled ? Thank you very much for any hints.

I have a validIf you have a client that: - can access the share if it uses the right user/pass, - and cannot acces the public share if it uses the wrong user/pass, (that is you don't have password-encryption related problems) the try using map to guest = bad user this will map non-existent userid's to the guest user. Note that on some systems "nobody" is not a valid guest account, try "ftp". -- giulioo@tiscalinet.it
