I don't really understand what's behind the use of guest accounts in samba. Does it mean: If a user access a resource shared by a samba server, and his username/password is not registered in the linux server then let him access the resource using the guest account? I understand that would mean I would have to use a valid username in smb.conf guest account and that if I add guest ok = yes to a share it should be accesible to anybody and the samba server would treat him as user "whateverIsetasguestaccount"? If this is it I must be doing something wrong because it doesn't work.Anybody using a different account than "s2" is prompted for a user/pass and can only use the resource using s2's account -- ______________________________ Daniel de los Reyes S2-Selling Soluciones Valencia Spain e-mail: dadecal@s2-selling.com Powered by Debian GNU-Linux 2.2r2 ______________________________ -------------- next part -------------- [global] netbios name = Router server string = Linux 2.2.17 ejecutando Samba %v workgroup = S2-Desarrollo security = user guest account = s2 guest ok = yes encrypt passwords = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u printcap name = lpstat load printers = yes interfaces = eth1 hosts allow = 192.168.1. ### Que trabaje como servidor wins ######################################## wins support = yes ### Que trabaje como Controlador de Dominio ############################### #local master = yes #os level = 99 #domain master = yes #preferred master = yes # domain logons = yes #De esto no estoy muy seguro ## Donde mandamos todos los logs ########################################### log level = 2 log file = /var/log/samba.log.%m max log size = 50 debug timestamp = yes ## El recurso del directorio del FTP (Home de S2)########################### [S2-ftp] path = /home/s2 browseable = yes public = yes # Hasta que tengamos un poco de orden dejamos que pasen todos #guest account = s2 #guest ok = yes #guest only = yes comment = Directorio del FTP de S2 volume = FTP de S2 writeable = yes create mask = 0755 ## Los directorios home de los usuarios #################################### [Home] comment = Directorio Home de %S path = /home/%u valid users = %u force user = %u writeable = yes browseable = no create mask = 0755 ## Las impresoras conectadas al sistema #################################### #[EpsonStylus] #printable=yes # print command = /usr/bin/lpr -r -P%p %s #print command = cp %s /tmp/tmp.print #lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -P%p #lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -P%p %j #printer = Epson #printing = cups #printing = BSD #read only = yes #guest account = dadecal #guest ok = yes
